I was a user of "bash", but with 3.9 I thought
I would try to use ksh my normal shell. So
far so good. One problem though, "man ksh"
states:

A privileged shell does not process $HOME/.profile
nor the ENV parameter. Instead, the file
/etc/suid_profile is processed.

1) /etc/suid_profile is not getting executed.
I don't know why, its ownership is "root:wheel" with
permission 700.

2) ENV will get process with privileged shells on
recursive calls. For example:

sudo ksh
export ENV=~/.kshrc
ksh

you will see with the second ksh, that the ENV
was executed.

Any help please
