3 the question is, should we move passwd to /bin/ from /usr/bin/ ? it would
4 help when trying to fix a lost root's password ...

6 FHS has nothing to say about it, and our policy on / is to only utilize things
7 that 'aid in system recovery', and i think this falls under that category
8 (bum fsck on / requires you to enter the root password for example in order
9 to login and fix)

11 if no one has any interesting input, i'll go ahead with the change
