  "n" is not an abbreviation for "and", except when used as part to join two
nouns into a phrase such as "fish'n'chips"; it's not suitable for use where
"and" is merely joining two clauses of a sentence.

  To fix /bin/sh, rm it and copy /bin/bash in its place.  Or even simpler,
run the script that is used to fix it up to date: at a bash shell, enter

. /etc/profile.d/00bash.sh

(don't omit the '.' - that's not a typo).

    cheers,
      DaveK
