None at all. :-) Seriously, putting arbitrary things into /usr/bin is just evil and every time we've allowed that kind of hackery on freefall, we've regretted it deeply come the next upgrade and suddenly all sorts of things are falling over even though we have a perfectly good OS installation and /usr/local & /usr/X11R6 are resurrected properly. I won't even go into the evils of rsh based (vs ssh based) execution protocols - the /usr/bin issue is enough to kill your request stone dead. :-| Jordan
