Apologies - of course; I meant ls /sbin union {anything moved out of kernel} gives a maximum range. I could find rationales, some more questionable than others, for about half the stuff in /sbin (for instance, if you are mounting NFS over IP, you /might/ want to have iptables support in there before you start playing with ip operations which without them might cause a comprimized root to be mounted - I said /might/).
