>Originator:     Brad Laue
>Release:        4.6-STABLE
>Organization:
brad-x.com
>Environment:
>Description:
      The recent MFC precluding sh from allowing && to precede a command
prevents the shell from processing a command such as:

pwcheck & && echo -n ' pwcheck'

This causes any ports rc.d script using this method (which is hideous
and incorrect) to fail on bootup.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Problem noticed with latest MFC of /bin/sh and mysql323-server from ports.

CVS this version of /bin/sh and install mysql323-server; reboot and observe
error.


>Fix:
      Remove all instances of 

command & && anothercommand 

from ports shell scripts.
