Question about pdksh



Hi folks,

somebody ha asked me why pdksh is located in /bin instead of
/bin/sh. He referred to the FSSTND. Shall I package pdksh so that it
only provides /usr/bin/ksh or shall it provide both /usr/bin/ksh _and_
/bin/ksh?

I would like to have an answer from one of the leader.

Quoting the FSSTND:
"
     If /bin/sh is Bash, then /bin/sh should be a symbolic or hard link
     to /bin/bash since Bash behaves differently when called as sh or
     bash.  pdksh, which may be the /bin/sh on install disks, should
     likewise be arranged with /bin/sh being a symlink to /bin/ksh.  The
     use of a symbolic link in these cases allows users to easily see
     that /bin/sh is not a true Bourne shell.
"

It's called /bin/ksh. This is the only appropriate place I found.

Regards,

	Joey
