[maemo-developers] (update2) Is array implemented in bash ...?

[From: Darius Jack]

thanks Frank,
thanks Marius and others.

Exactly. 
Living on Vista/XP I get used to see what I see.
Script works fine dos2unix-ed

Please tell ag2 from InternetTabletTalk and others
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14613
that what crashed my OS2007HE is not bash3, working great
but suggestion to edit /etc/passwd
edited /etc/passwd
crashed system
"
edit /etc/passwd and replace /bin/sh with /bin/bash for users 'user' and 'root'.
"
"
To make bash the default shell, edit /etc/passwd and replace /bin/sh by /bin/bash for users 'user' and 'root'.
