Doc Text:
*ksh* now correctly displays login messages When logging in to an interactive login shell, the contents of the `/etc/profile` script are executed in order to set up an initial environment. Messages which should have been displayed to the user upon logging in to the Korn shell (ksh) were suppressed due to an internal test to determine whether the shell is a login shell that relied upon the value of the `PS1` environment variable having already been set before `/etc/profile` was executed. However, this environment variable is set in the Korn shell only after `/etc/profile` is executed, which led to messages never being displayed to *ksh* users. This update provides an alternative test that does not rely on the `PS1` variable being set before `/etc/profile` execution, with the result that messages are properly displayed to users of the Korn shell upon login.
