Package: iproute
Version: 20100519-3
Severity: wishlist

The usage examples in "man ss" are handy but work only for root since
normal users don't have /sbin in their path. Can you please consider
some of the following enhancements:

1) move ss to /bin,

2) provide a symlink to /sbin/ip in /bin

3) use "/sbin/ss" in the EXAMPLES section of the manual page or

4) mention that ss is in /sbin and non-root users need to use /sbin/ss
in the manual page.

In addiotion to this, if ss is not meant to be used by normal users,
please mention this and perhaps suggest the legacy netstat instead.
