  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:

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