Hello, I cannot explain it to you (or myself) either, but what I can do is joining you in confirming, that it is as you described plus joining you in asking that exact question. In summer '08 there still had been two odd SMF boot time failiures due to an incompatibility of ksh93 with certain indirectly called (not obvious) legacy scripts, Moinak found out and once reported about this. But isn't all that sorted out / fixed by now? Otherwise - beyond from thousand promille backwards compatibility on SXCE vs. only 999 promille backwards compatibility on Indiana I cannot see much of a reason, why the old shell would still be around at all, especially not as the default for any user account, including root, not on SXCE nor anything else. %martin
