Yea, this is a little amusing. The first of these three utilities would just get an extended attribute and display the info (it's binary) and I didn't see any reason for this being restricted to root, so I didn't do that in the utility. However, I just realized I had never tried it as non-root and it doesn't work as non-root (apparently get extended attribute of "system" namespace is restricted to root). So, I think it's settled. They should all go in /usr/sbin. Thanks everyone for your comments, rickReceived on Thu Jun 14 2018 - 23:12:28 UTC
