And I think we should leave it this way, fixing whatever scripts have cropped
up
with bashisms. We should not be doing very complex things in profile.d
anyway,
or we're likely doing too much for the local admin. As far as I know most
other
distros get by with POSIX for these, and if they can we certainly should be
able to.
