Solution'/usr/bin' and '/usr/sbin' are binaries are for general usage.
Some Unicies take this a bit futher stating that '/sbin' and '/usr/sbin' are statically-linked binaries for use in a rescue environment.
Most now just treat '/sbin' and '/usr/sbin' to house super-user privileged type binaries.

Re: diff b/w /bin, /usr/bin, /sbin/ and /usr/sbin
I had no clear idea about File System Naming Conventions
But Google helped me find these links..
1. Linux File System Hierarchy
http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/
2. File System Naming Conventions
http://dsnra.jpl.nasa.gov/devel/sw_cm/file_systems.html
I hope this will help you ...and those who view this thread later...
Regards,
Ram.
