Personally, I think init should be static, and can't think of any way it would benefit from shared libraries. I'm not qualified to comment on the various things people have said about /bin/sh. (Possibly irrelevant data point: Solaris 10, if it ever flies, will supposedly have only shared libraries.) Given that you've got a knob if you really care enough to change the default, static init and /rescue should be adequate to get past all the other bickering here, so please stop it already... -- Christopher Vance
