First - congrats on the final release of the book :)

I have a question though on mktemp - not really sure it belongs here, 
but ...

Following the instructions in the book, mktemp gets installed in /usr/bin

A lot of (or at least some) scripts (IE log rotate scripts that go in 
/etc/logrotate.d/) assume it is installed in /bin and the only libraries 
it uses are in /lib64 (or /lib) so it could go in theory go in /bin.

Is there a "standard" install location for that binary that one can 
generally expect, or is there not really a standard install location for 
mktemp?
