* Steve Austin <indydog125@yahoo.com> [20011024 18:50]: writing on the subject 'ksh not starting'
| sorry for a little bit of a repost, but I cannot trace
| the answer to the original question:
| 
| http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1286550+1289451+/usr/local/www/db/text/2001/freebsd-questions/20010805.freebsd-questions
| 
| Restating the question:
| I've changed the passwd file to reflect the requested
| login shell from the user (/bin/ksh). When the user
| logs in (to the console, or from a remote location),
| he
| is still in sh - not in ksh. If the user then executes
| ksh as a command, the shell starts, the .profile file 
| is executed, and all works well.
| 
| Somehow, the passwd file is not reflecting the 
| modification.
| 
| Any hints on what I missed would be greatly 
| appreciated!


alligator% which ksh

/usr/local/bin/ksh

Your path to ksh is wrong. Maybe you are not using FreeBSD??

There was a young man of St. John's
Who wanted to bugger the swans.
	But the loyal hall porter
	Said, "Pray take my daughter!
Those birds are reserved for the dons."
