No big deal--agreed. I've merely asked for curiosity and a kind of
'package minimalism'. And I have wondered whether there are
a priori reasons I'm unaware of to use pdksh for POSIX stuff instead
of bash. Of course, being tested well or not _is_ a reason.

So I have a first little 'personal ToDo' for later:
I will create a tiny "bash-posix" (or so) RPM depending on bash and
providing "/bin/sh" via a "bash --posix" thing. In this way I could try out
to use bash for system stuff.

I hope that my remarks concerning pdksh did not sound to harsh.
I was only surprised. And since English is not my mother tongue I'm
always in danger to unintentionally insult people.
