Re: newrules.pl -o option

[Dale Amon <amon@vnl.com>]

Since the topic of newrules.pl has come up...

Russ made a point some time back that it may be
a bad idea for it to have the .pl extension as
it might someday be rewritten in C or whatever.
Not that it necessarily will, but it is generally
a bad idea to put extensions on "binaries" that
should end up in /sbin or /usr/sbin/.

Which also brings up the point, what is the most
appropriate place for it to install? Would it be
wise for it to be useable during early boot, thus in
/sbin, or just later in /usr/sbin? Or should it be
considered a user tool and be in /bin or /sbin?

I'd personally tend to /usr/sbin since autogen
of rule fixes during boot is not in general a 
good idea...
