I guess you overestimate "the debian people". Have you ever tried to run Apache in chroot jail in debian? Or restart 'networking' service over ssh? Replacing one crap with other doesn't necessarily mean getting things right. I fact, almost never... When I sought ksh in Linux, pdksh quickly became out of the question since it doesn't support tab-completion at all. mksh seems to do work fine - thanks to Kevin for posting on this list. -- Martin Pelikan
