What linux distribution? "bin" is a system user that owns all the
program objects, and if it's not there, your linux installation is
broken. (We won't be able to fix your linux installation reliably. If
bin is gone, something is terribly wrong with unknown repurcussions. We
do, however, need to know whether to tell you to reinstall the whole
machine again using the same distribution, or whether you're running
something that deludes itself into thinking that not having "bin" is
"more secure" somehow, in which case we will advise you to reinstall the
operating system using a distribution upon which DB2 is actually
supported.)

What command did you run? What Linux userid were you?
