Default shell

807559Dec 9 2003 — edited Dec 10 2003

To install third party software on a Solaris 9 x86 box I replaced the default shell "/usr/bin/sh" with "/usr/bin/bash" by issuing the commands "mv /usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/sh.old" and "ln -s /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/sh". Anybody know how this may affect the system? What affect if any, will it have on the installation of standard SUNW packages? Is "bourne again" backwards compatible with the bourne shell?
