So I think the best solution (*) would be to keep /bin/sh statically linked, and build a dynamic version in /usr/bin that people can use as an interactive shell. Root's shell remains /bin/sh
1) All three (;-) interactive bourne shell users that use nss/ldap get tilde expansion.
2) 3rd party scripts, which are written to be portable and don't use tilde, don't have to pay for dynamic linking.
3) System startup scripts are faster because they use the static /bin/sh
Are you suggesting that (t)csh also move to /usr/bin to match /usr/bin/sh? The screams caused by such a change would be deafening.
