Try to find out if your /bin/sh is symbolically linked to bash, ash, korn, or
whatever other shell. /bin/sh should be just a symbolic link...if it isn't
linked, link it to something like bash.
I had a problem when I upgraded to the 2.4.12 kernel and the update asked
whether I wanted to go with the default POSIX standard ash instead of bash. I
answered yes, and then my automated dialup scripts wouldn't work for the next
day until I relinked to bash (my scripts were bash specific I guess).
