IMHO, we should move the mt(1) command from /usr/bin into /bin, since it's containing functionality to modify the SCSI tape driver now that will be needed in order to recover a system from SCSI tapes on several sites. Currently, a statically linked mt command will bloat /bin by -rwxr-xr-x 1 j bin 53248 Jul 16 09:30 mt* compared to the dynamic /usr/bin/mt: -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 12288 Apr 29 22:34 /usr/bin/mt* Unless somebody objects, i would going to move it some day. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
