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, --Pat ************************************************************************* | Patrick Bohrer Internet: patrick@oakhill.sps.mot.com | | Motorola Incorporated Phone : (512) 891-3197 | | Microprocessor Products Group Fax : (512) 891-3798 | | RISC Software Design | *************************************************************************
