FYI - RH 7.3 xinetd patch breaks nrpe bash scripts

[Nick Bernstein]

This is just a FYI for all of you who are using bash scripts to check
various things through NRPE running under xinetd. They'll break with the
new kernel patch. I'm guessing that part of the patch related to how
programs are executed through xinetd (although there is no specific
mention of this in the errata) but I've found that using sh instead of
bash seems to fix the problem (which is strange, since /bin/sh is soft
liked to /bin/bash).

Anyway, hope that helps some of you avoid problems,
Nick
