>Description:

	the "sysctl" command has bend moved from /usr/sbin to /sbin.
	/usr/bin/whereis line 99 invokes sysctl by
		"/usr/sbin/sysctl -n user.cs_path"
	that causes command not found error.

>How-To-Repeat:

	try do "whereis anything"

# whereis yp
Can't exec "/usr/sbin/sysctl -n user.cs_path": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/whereis line 99yp:


>Fix:
	
	change /usr/sbin/sysctl to /sbin/sysctl at line 99 in whereis program.
