...or even look at the system before he's going to post. :-)
j@bonnie 180% file /usr/sbin/*
/usr/sbin/XNSrouted: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked\

/usr/sbin/ac: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked\

/usr/sbin/accton: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked\

/usr/sbin/arp: setgid FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically\
linked executable
...and so on. I did find a few Bourne shell scripts, too, but i
failed to find any statically linked binary on this 1.1.5.1 system.

sbin/ system daemons & system utilities (executed by users)
