On most systems /bin/sh is POSIX conform.
And yes, this line ensures, that if you roots login shell is a csh
or something different, that /bin/sh is executed.
All Linuxes have bash as /bin/sh, *BSD uses ash, which is POSIX
aware, but Solaris has its *stock* Bourne Shell, with the old capabilities.
On that systems you have to replace the first line to

#! /some/path/bash

or simply call the script with

	bash SETUP
