hmm - I see that I still overlooked documenting the /etc/shells tie-in in the manpage. It's in the changelog, of course, and if you read that you may notice that the change was intentional (to fix a serious bug in contrast to a user-configurable preference). So - to the point: is /bin/mksh in /etc/shells? If not, adding it there is the way to get your intended behavior. If it is, then there's some additional aspect that I've overlooked. -- Thomas E.
