Neither /bin nor /usr/bin is under user control. They just contain tools |
| 8 |
which can be used by unpriviledged users. |

No, sorry, this is simply wrong. /sbin and /bin contain the things necessary |
| 18 |
at boot time, /sbin should only be relevant to root, while /bin contains |
| 19 |
things which can be _used_ by anyone. /usr/bin and /usr/sbin contains |
| 20 |
things which are not anymore relevant for booting (read: to mount other |
| 21 |
filesystems). However, the distinction between /usr/bin and /usr/sbin is |
| 22 |
the same as for /bin and /sbin. |
