* 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.
