I was frustrated at this immediately as soon as I installed Leopard.

My solution was simply to install bash from MacPorts (which I was using in Tiger anyway) and then use dscl to change all user acccounts (including root) to use /opt/local/bin/bash for UserShell.

So it was fixed on the first day for me :-)

NB I quite agree, never replace /bin/sh with /bin/bash, that kind of thing is rather bad practice. Update your UserShell to use /bin/bash if you wish.

I always write my scripts with #!/bin/bash anyway, never /bin/sh, so scripts weren't a problem, only login sessions.
