Description Forgotten User eGHtJabySz 2006-03-07 23:44:32 UTC 
Code in /etc/profile doesn't handle ksh startup files correctly.  /etc/bash.bashrc is executed three times by ksh login shells, and twice by other shells.  $HOME/.kshrc isn't executed at all.  ksh will apparently run /etc/ksh.kshrc and $HOME/.kshrc at startup for every shell, so it was redundant for /etc/profile to run these files explicitly.  I've attempted to fix this with the attached patch.
