FWIW, on IRIX most files in /bin[0], /usr/bin, /sbin and /usr/sbin are
root:sys. On HP/UX[1] /bin[2], /usr/bin, /sbin and /usr/sbin contain
files owned by bin:bin, with a few seemingly random exceptions owned by
root:sys.
[0] This is actually a link to usr/bin.
[1] aka, a Developer's Nightmare (but I actually find it cute to be
greeted by "(c)Copyright 1979, 1980, 1983, 1985-1993 The Regents of
the Univ. of California", among a screenful of others, at login)
[2] Same deal, the link points to /usr/bin.
