The default /etc/profile should already have a ksh-specific case for
setting the prompt correctly. Make sure you have an up-to-date
/etc/profile (if you haven't customized it, simply copy
/etc/defaults/etc/profile in its place).
Without further details I can only guess, but it looks like you're
starting ksh from bash (i.e., not as a login shell). This would make ksh
inherit the (incompatible) PS1 from bash. Either start the shell with the
"-l" option, or set PS1 appropriately before/after invoking the shell...
