Hm. So why not make it the admin's choice? How about'

Setting up netbase (version) ...

In the standard configuration, some binaries of netbase are installed
in /usr/sbin, which is, by default, not included in the user's search
paths. Do you want to create a symbolic link for each program below
from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin, thus putting them in a regular user's
search path:

traceroute
ifconfig
etc.

Do you want to install the symlinks or edit the list (y/N/e)?

Good enough for you? Good enough for anyone? ajt? (-:
