SXCE is OpenSolaris, so please let us use the term "Indiana" for a correct
comentlature.

AFAICT, Indiana by default comes with a PATH that has /usr/gnu/bin in front of 
the rest....

So, we have:

-       a broken tar

-       a ls, chmod, .... without ACL support

....

on Indiana.

In addition, the Bourne Shell was replaced by ksh93 and this has never been 
tested in a production environment whether there are compatibility problems.
If you like to get a /bin/sh with history editor, I recommend to use the 
portable Boune Shell from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily/
The POSIX standard definitely does not require /bin/sh to be a POSIX.1-2008
compliant shell.
