Daemons that are run from the command line (or can be run from the command
line) go in /usr/src/sbin,  Daemons that are only started by other programs
go in /usr/libexec.  There is nothing about rc files or ``root'' in the
applicable criteria.

Please refer to ``man 7 hier'' when talking about such things:

	libexec/	system daemons & system utilities (executed by other
			programs)

	sbin/		system daemons & system utilities (executed by users)

Please do not make up your own rules, these things are defined in the sited
man page.  I have seen 3 wrong definations in todays mail :-(.
