    The link model is controlled by Makefile.inc -- not the one in the
    utility source directory, but the one for the governing parent directory.

    Take a look at /usr/src/sbin/Makefile.inc and 
    /usr/src/usr.sbin/Makefile.inc and you will understand how it works.

    I'm sorry I missed this mess - I was hip deep in NFS work (and still am)
    getting ready for the 3.4 release.  chown should never have been moved
    considering that there are probably hundreds of not thousands or even
    tens of thousands of scripts 'out there' that expect it to be in
    /usr/sbin.  I hope this gets cleaned up before 3.4 & 4.0 go out the door!
