I have 2 servers - both are SLES 9, 31bit. One system has a /bin/sh file and the other has it linked to /bin/bash. The server without the link is getting syntax errors on the startup scripts, I think because of this (it seems not to have sourced /etc/rc.status amongst other things).
Both have bash-2.05b-305.14, same kernel. pb-sles9:/bin # ls -al *sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122743 Jun 30 2004 ash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 551548 Mar 24 2006 bash lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 10 2006 csh -> tcsh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6550 Nov 17 2005 dbginfo.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 246686 Apr 4 2005 ksh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8585 Nov 29 2005 rescan-scsi-bus.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 598556 Jun 30 2004 sash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 246686 Apr 4 2005 sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 1 15:04 ssh -> /usr/bin/ssh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 415739 Nov 29 2004 tcsh pb-sles9:/bin # rpm -qa | grep bash bash-2.05b-305.14 pb-sles9:/bin # rpm -qf bash bash-2.05b-305.14 pb-sles9:/bin # rpm -qf sh bash-2.05b-305.14 veritas-sles9:/bin # ls -al *sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122743 Jun 30 2004 ash -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 551548 Mar 24 2006 bash lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 4 2006 csh -> tcsh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6550 Nov 17 2005 dbginfo.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 246686 Apr 4 2005 ksh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8585 Nov 29 2005 rescan-scsi-bus.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 598556 Jun 30 2004 sash lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul 6 11:44 sh -> bash lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 24 11:28 ssh -> /usr/bin/ssh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 415739 Nov 29 2004 tcsh veritas-sles9:/bin # rpm -qa | grep bash bash-2.05b-305.14 veritas-sles9:/bin # rpm -qf bash bash-2.05b-305.14 Any ideas what would have created that link that maybe didn't run on the first server? Rpm -qil shows that /bin/sh came from the bash package. Marcy Cortes "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
