Running KSH as your user shell

Quite a while ago I built ksh on the NeXT and set it up in
Terminal to be my default shell.  But when I try to set it up
on the system as my default shell, I can't login on the NeXT
(It tells my that I have no user shell and that it will run
/bin/ksh and ignore output.  I click OK and it gives me a login
window again.)  But I can rlogin from another machine.
So I copied /bin/ksh to /bin/sh and set my user
shell to /bin/sh and everything works OK (albeit kludgy).  Does
anyone know how to specify ksh as a valid shell.  I appears that
loginwindow compares the name of your shell against some list of 
known user shells before it starts up the Workspace Manager
but I don't know where the list is.

Thanks in advance for any help,
