For me, a non issue, I normally only call binkd from scripts, either the ones
that start and monitor it, or scripts like "poll", which setup manual polls for
nodes. As I said previously, I prefer the default location (/usr/local/sbin),
as it is more in line with Linux standards.
I wouldn't copy binkd. If you need to be able to reference it elsewhere in the
filesystem, use a symlink. That way, you don't have multiple copies floating
around (confusion when upgrading).
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/binkd /usr/bin/binkd
... I can see clearly now, my brain is gone...
