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!

Thanks.
