Not sure this is a good idea. I would side with separating system executables from user level executables.

- viraptor 15y agoHow do you define a "system executable"? And why would you keep them separate? In case you mean "apps" and "system management utilities" - isn't that what start menu links are for?
- rwmj 15y agoIndeed .. is /sbin/ifconfig a system executable. Well, yes because the sysadmin can use it to modify interfaces. Or is it a user executable. Well yes too, it is frequently used by non-root to list interfaces. In any case it makes no sense since in Fedora for about 4 years the PATH has contained /sbin, /bin, /usr/sbin and /usr/bin for everyone.
