FILL BLANK -

Following the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), where should binaries that have been compiled by the system administrator be placed in order to be made available to all users on the system? (Specify the full path to the directory.)

Show Answer
Correct Answer:

According to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), binaries that have been compiled by the system administrator should be placed in /usr/local/bin/ to be made available to all users on the system. This directory is designated for locally installed software and contains executable programs. It ensures that these programs are available to all users while keeping the main system directories clean for system and distribution-provided software.

For you to know. According to FHS: /bin contains executables needed to up or repair the system, monouser mode. /usr/bin contains executables for users to use. Most of non booting programs, intended for normal users, should be placed here. /sbin/ contains boot binaries, and other executables tipically not used for nnormal users. /usr/local/bin usually contains non system, third party locally compiled binaries. Default location for user binaries. /usr/local/sbin contains non system binaries for root only. https://eslinux.com/foro/1542/diferencia-sbin-bin/ (SPA)
