its simple.. bin is for normal/regular users and sbin is for root user only. in other words, regular users dont have access to binaries of /sbin folder.
If you have questions about filesystem/directory purposes in the future, have a look at man hier
thnx for reply .
i'll use "man hier" :)
thnx for your note.

They have, but their searchpath misses /sbin, resp. /usr/sbin by default.
Another valuable resource is the FHS.
No. /sbin is for root user only.Quote:
