Hi
Does anyone knows what's the difference between a /sbin, /usr/sbin or /usr/bin executables ? I understand that /sbin and /usr/sbin keeps "superuser" commands, but i find here that apparently some commands are pretty different.
An example:
# l /usr/bin/rm
-rwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 24576 Jul 24 1995 /usr/bin/rm
# l /sbin/rm
-rwxr-xr-x 2 bin bin 131072 Jul 24 1995 rm
# file /usr/bin/rm
/usr/bin/rm: COFF format alpha dynamically linked, demand paged executable or object module stripped - version 3.11-
# file /sbin/rm
rm: COFF format alpha demand paged executable or object module stripped - version 3.11-8
Why these differences in size ? Have them any visible difference respect their behavior ?
Thanks in advance
