I'm not sure I follow the logic -- the 'if' doesn't seem to match up with the 'then' in any of the cases you list -- but this is beside the point. Suppose someone creates a usable /sbin/ksh93: one that is able to run when /usr isn't mounted and that can run even when root is read-only. The question becomes what such a binary would be good for. None of the current scripts are written assuming ksh93, and this project doesn't propose rewriting any of them to use ksh93. Lacking that, and with /usr/bin/ksh93 usable for all other purposes, there doesn't seem to be a reason to have /sbin/ksh93 on the system. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
