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.
