      /sbin/sh is statically linked (i.e. no shared libraries) so that it
    can run without /usr mounted, and has no local language support. root
    *MUST* have /sbin/sh as hir shell.

      /usr/bin/sh is dynamically linked (i.e. uses shared libraries), and
    has local language support. /usr/bin/sh is the/a shell for mortals.
