>Description:
When trying to install from ports or use "chown" to change ownership, machine reports that it cannot find command "chown".  

example from attempted transmission install:

[dexue at raptor /usr/ports/net-p2p/transmission % sudo make install
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  Extracting for transmission-0.5
=> MD5 Checksum OK for Transmission-0.5.tar.gz.
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for Transmission-0.5.tar.gz.
/usr/sbin/chown: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop in /usr/ports/net-p2p/transmission.

When using whereis to find chown following is output:

[dexue at raptor /tmp % whereis -f chown
chown: /usr/share/man/man8/chown.8.gz


>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to install programs or attempt to change ownership on files/dirs
>Fix:
Install chown to /usr/sbin.
Can you supply this utility to me or tell me how to get and how to install.  I don't understand why this did not install.  Machine works fine except for this which stops nearly all installations and any ownership changes.  I can't install any ports or upgrade any applications.  Please help.
Thanks,
DJ
