[SunHELP] /bin/sh

[David Baldwin]

Thanks for the response.
I heard that there was this little problem and a way around it.  For one
reason or another we need to use /bin/sh for root but I would like the
little added convenience of the prompt with the current working dir. =20
For the life of me, I just can't remember the work around.
Thanks though.

Dave,

BASH is a newer shell than "sh". Not all features are compatible with
"sh". It's like "sh" is the lowest common denominator to BASH and KORN
shells. Someone else may be able to give you an explanation of how to,
but this is probably the reason to why one works works verses the other.
