Good idea. I'll try it when the system's back up. Someone's hunting up a
replacement NIC to see if that really could be the fix. I should note that
this is a 2-day-old stock install from the CentOS ISO. While a coworker
initially handled it, I'm sure he didn't go adding any extra versions of sh.

I'd been assuming that sh was dash, as it is in Debian-based distros. Silly
of me. It is bash on CentOS. So my playing with the sh/bash thing was
wasting time. Sorry I even wrote up that aspect.
