| 9 | It only says that "in 1974 [...] everything was statically linked", but |
| 10 | not anything specific about /sbin there. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | I even believe that he got the part about /sbin historically wrong. |
| 13 | There was no /sbin in early Unix versions (because "dangerous |
| 14 | maintenance utilities" were in /etc). You can check this in |
| 15 | https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/ancient/ which shows that even |
| 16 | in V7 Unix (1979) /sbin didn't exist yet. So certainly not in 1974 |
| 17 | either. |
