isn't that "usefull to have ONE configuration file for these shells" /etc/profile? also, the patch to force /etc/ksh.kshrc checks for a vendor name rather than a feature -- we prefer to do that only as a last resort a more appropriate place for vendor specific settings would be in the vendor specific makefile(s) that set up compile time options in this case -DSHOPT_SYSRC should do what you want if it doesn't then let me know so I can make it work -- Glenn Fowler -- AT&T Research, Florham Park NJ --
