Your suspicion is entirely correct. (We have taken a certain amount of flak from third parties who had written buggy scripts that assumed bash was /bin/sh, though. I have only limited sympathy, and larger vendors will have to cope with /bin/sh not being bash on other Unixes anyway, but if Debian does this it should be very clearly release-noted.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
