Description Arvid Requate

We should also fix this in UCS 4.1-4

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #44694 +++

sysvol-sync.sh stops working if homedir for Samba/AD DCs in not /dev/null.
In that case it never synchronizes anything from that DC.

The sed expression used in the check_if_need_sync function suffers from a sed feature called "Relentness" here: http://sed.sourceforge.net/sedfaq3.html#s3.3

It's surprisingly difficult to create a sed expression for this use case.
The attached patch avoids sed at this point.

UCS 4.1 is out of maintenance.
