Hi all,

In the Linux file system what does the name usr , sbin stands for ?

some say that

sbin means secure binary or system binary ?
usr means user or unix system resources ?

can any one give the correct explanation ?

NB: i know the purpose of usr and sbin directories, i just want to know
the naming thing

As i understand it:

USR = Unix System Resource

SBIN = Superuser Binaries
