[ a bunch of (lazy) reasons for wanting "bin" to own binaries ]
1) if you can't trust your hackers with an account that has install
privs on your machine, you can't trust what they are putting there.
give them a tool to install things, or keep them out of your system
source.
2) for NFS use rdist.
3) your third answer makes no sense. if you bnother at all to audit
your binaries, you should do a thorough job, and not depend on file
ownership as a sign of "tampering" ...
4) *why* does AT&T do it?
I think my question stands.
