I would like to type "ksh" at the root prompt and get a Korn shell ($), but
I don't. All I get is the sh prompt (#). I have set up a .kshrc (at the
root) and modified the /etc/profile, but for some reason I don't get a ksh.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

1. How to set environment for remote ksh?
This is probably a FAQ, but what the heck. Here's what I do:
To get a desired configuration for remsh's run on a machine for
which your SHELL is /bin/ksh, use the following command format:
remsh <remote hostname> ENV=<remote.environment.file> ksh -c <cmd>
It doesn't seem possible to include any arguments to the <cmd>, though.
Am I missing something obvious?
