Subject: [PATCH v3] policycoreutils: sestatus belongs to bin not sbin
Date: Sun, 21 Feb 2021 17:04:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4f80b938-fb3d-ba0a-0c13-bfcfd76176f4@gmail.com> (raw)

It is quite useful even to non-privileged users and doesn't require any
privileges to work, except for maybe -v.

Some tools hard code the old path, so a compatibility symlink is also
created.
