/sbin/ifcfg and /sbin/rtpr.

Here's a grep result from the package/ directory of iproute2.
iproute2/3.10.0-r0/package [1] $ grep -R '/bin/bash' ./*
./sbin/ifcfg:#! /bin/bash
./sbin/rtpr:#! /bin/bash
./usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/cbq.init-v0.7.3:#!/bin/bash
./usr/share/doc/iproute2/examples/dhcp-client-script:#!/bin/bash
./usr/share/doc/iproute2/ip-cref.tex:#! /bin/bash
./usr/share/doc/iproute2/ip-cref.tex:#! /bin/bash
