Just for the record and to provide more kindling, the XPG4/POSIX sh in
question is, in fact, the basic Korn shell (wrapped for viewing):

    % uname -sr
    SunOS 5.8
    % ls -lF /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          13 Apr 22 15:48 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
                                                         -> ../../bin/ksh*
    % grep /bin/ksh /var/sadm/install/contents 
    /usr/bin/ksh f none 0555 root bin 200936 2940 947116623 SUNWcsu
    /usr/xpg4/bin/sh=../../bin/ksh s none SUNWxcu4
    % 

And /bin/ksh is always present (SUNWcsu == core Solaris).
