From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
If an account uses /bin/ksh as the shell, logins throw a syntax error on line 17 of /etc/profile.

To solve this problem, the $EUID on line 17 should be quoted like the following:

setup-2.5.44-1.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create account with /bin/ksh as the shell
2. Login
3.
  

Actual Results:  
/etc/profile[17]: [: argument expected

Expected Results:  should not have received this error
