Tim,
Let me expand on this a bit more, because I think its really
important to realize what your options are for utilities.
First off, a small rant about AIX v5.1, I never asked for /opt to be
installed, and most of the utilities installed are so far behind
version wise that they are mostly useless.
That said, I remove all utilities in /opt and the filesystem as well.
Then I create a "local" logical volume and file system, and mount
it off of the root.
#mklv -y'lv00' rootvg 20 hdisk0
#crfs -v jfs -d'lv00' -m'/local' -A''`locale yesstr | awk -F: '{print $1}'`''
-p'rw' -t''`locale nostr | awk -F: '{print $1}'`' ' -a frag='4096' -a
nbpi='4096' -a ag='8'
#mount /dev/lv00 /local
Then I create a "usr" directory off the local file system:
#cd /local
#mkdir usr
Then link /usr/local to /local
#cd /usr
#ln -s /local/usr local
This way you can keep all user type utilities in "/local/usr" or
"/usr/local" either way they are in their own logical volume and file
system, away from your base OS files.
All of the pre-compiled binaries from UCLA's website
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/aixpdslib.html
also use this directory convention.
Hope this helps.
Alan
