[OpenIndiana-discuss] Bash bug issue

[Cal Sawyer]

Per openindiana.org:

"OpenIndiana is a robust enterprise operating system"

If the only solutions being offered after nearly 2 weeks are a) use ksh because bash is somehow inferior (shades of "csh-is-deterimental") or 2. rebuild bash youself from source, i'd have to say that imho it's the polar opposite and this appears to be confirmed in Andreas's post.

OmniOS had, as did virtually world+dog, a patch out the day after the bug was announced - which is consistent with a/proper/  distribution, and it's where i'm going now

I know. But it looks like openindiana at the moment hasn't got the
community momentum necessary to keep up with security issues. No blame to
anyone, but one has to keep it into account if using in a production
environment.
