As is mine.  But /bin/bash still exists.  I would like to here how you made
all the bash scripts use /bin/sh.  I have mailed the maints of many and made 
pure bourne out of them.  But some need bash.

There is a difference between removing bash and making /bin/sh be something
else.  There are also a few Debian-ites who use ksh instead.
