RE: /usr/lib

/usr/share may not be even if /usr/sbin is, since it is
meant for stuff that can be shared for multiple machines
over network and can be mounted from another machine.

Is portsentry run before or after mounting network mounts?
Is it security critical and should work even if network
mount fails?
