This is the approach I took at my previous employer. It's simple, works with packages, and people who hate adding things to /bin can avoid doing so. > Looks like variant symlink is may be useful for solving this problem > and it is not cluttered base > > https://wiki.freebsd.org/200808DevSummit?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=variant-symlinks-for-freebsd.pdf As the person who ported variant symlinks to FreeBSD I can't image how they could be useful here. If you need a /bin/bash you need to put a file system object there (or I supposed hack namei).
