>Description:
When using /bin/ksh (instead of /bin/sh) to boot the system, all rc.d scripts
work fine except for rc.d/sysdb. A patch to fix this is attached.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ /bin/ksh /etc/rc.d/sysdb                                                    
/etc/rc.d/sysdb[30]: syntax error: `else' unexpected
