I want to use ksh as default shell
But can not figure out how to set env variables ---- but .profile does not
seem to work.
I have placed all env varaibles in /etc/env
How can I make my own .profile work ?
I want to set my own alias, PS1, etc like in any ksh session.
Pls help thanks

If you haven't already swiched your shell, you can do so by using the
CHange SHell program - chsh.
A kornshell instance executes /etc/profile and ~/.profile only if it is
a login shell ( the first character of the first argument is - or if the
-l option is used ). Otherwise, it looks for an environment variable
called ENV and if it is set and points to a readable file, executes it.
Something like export ENV=/etc/env should work in your case.
