I have to agree with Doug. If the directories were unified and we were proposing splitting them based on efficiency, I would say it is not worth doing. However, the directories are separate now, and I don't see sufficient benefit from combining them. fwiw, I think at least 90% of the users at work do not have /sbin and /usr/sbin in their paths now, and they do not need them. (Yes, there are still multi-user systems, and not everyone is a sysadmin.) I think this is a solution in search of a problem. Mike
