> I'm using Hadoop on Ubuntu 6.10.  I ran into:
> $ start-all.sh
> starting namenode, logging to
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-jj-namenode-jjinuxland.out
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/slaves.sh: 36: Syntax error: Bad
> substitution
> starting jobtracker, logging to
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/../logs/hadoop-jj-jobtracker-jjinuxland.out
> /usr/local/hadoop-install/hadoop/bin/slaves.sh: 36: Syntax error: Bad
> substitution
> Ubuntu 6.10 switched away from using bash for the default /bin/sh.
> The workaround is simple:
> (cd /bin && ln -sf bash sh)
> Nonetheless, it might be nice to update the script so that it works by
> default on Ubuntu since it is pretty popular.  I'm guessing that the
> change would be simple.  The offending line is:
> ssh $HADOOP_SSH_OPTS $slave $"${@// /\\ }" \
