Subject: rpcbind Installation Directory

Hi,

I was recently trying to install rpcbind from source, and I noticed
that the default installation directory was /usr. This surprised me,
since I always thought that software installed by a user should default
to being installed in /usr/local.

Is there a reason that rpcbind is installed into /usr? If not, I can
prepare a patch.

Yours thankfully,

Riley Baird

Yes the default is /usr/bin.
