Do you recall when this was? 4.3-RENO has the bin/sbin split, and that was 1990, but the split isn't yet in 4.3-Tahoe, which was in 1988. In 4.3-RENO it was already system binaries since 4.3 didn't have shared libraries, at least according to the TUHS 4.3-RENO archive http://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=4.3BSD-Reno/src/share/man/man7/hier.7 I don't have a copy of the BSD SCCS trees to narrow the split down further... Perhaps this indicates multiple invention? Warner -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
