[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1003845@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This problem appeared when I changed /bin/sh link to /bin/bash. Somehow
dash tolerates this bug described below.

When trying to start sssd I've got:

root@ubuntu-precise:~# start sssd
start: Job failed to start


The only trace in syslog was:

May 24 11:11:59 ubuntu-precise kernel: [66576.880595] init: sssd pre-
start process (9782) terminated with status 2


I've took a look on /etc/init/sssd.conf and everything looks ok, but after some play I make it to start, and this is the difference to the original:

root@ubuntu-precise:/etc/init# diff sssd.conf sssd.conf.orig
19c19
< 	test -f /etc/sssd/sssd.conf || { stop; exit 0; }
---
> 	test -f /etc/sssd/sssd.conf || { stop; exit 0; }


This looks bizzare for me, so I tried that:

root@ubuntu-precise:/etc/init# cat -A sssd.conf|grep test
^Itest -f /etc/sssd/sssd.conf || { stop; exit 0; }$
root@ubuntu-precise:/etc/init# cat -A sssd.conf.orig|grep test
^Itest -f /etc/sssd/sssd.conf ||M-BM- { stop; exit 0; }$
root@ubuntu-precise:/etc/init#


I have no idea what does "M-BM-" stand for, but I'm sure this is not how it should be.
