I'm using RedHat 6.2, which has both bash 1.14.7 (bash) and bash 2.03
(bash2) installed:

iolanthe:~ =] ls -al /bin/*sh*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        60592 Feb  3  2000 /bin/ash*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       263064 Feb  3  2000 /bin/ash.static*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       316848 Feb 27 17:44 /bin/bash*

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Jun 25  1999 /bin/csh -> tcsh*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       165072 Feb  7  2000 /bin/ksh*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Jun 25  1999 /bin/sh -> bash*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       258288 Mar  7 10:35 /bin/tcsh*

When I tested the fileutils 4.0x compile on Linux, I forced it to use bash
2.03. I have no idea why bash 2.03 isn't the default 'sh'. I can't comment
on other Linuces.

Bye, Rich
