RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Paulo Andrade 2016-03-28 18:08:37 UTC 
The problem happens in other profile.d files, and also
in rhel7.

  The issue is that ksh does not set PS1 until reading
profile/initialization files, and only sets it if it is
unset.

  Some initialization files in /etc/profile.d use the
pattern:

# Skip all for noninteractive shells.
[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

at the start of the file, what does not work for ksh.

  I believe this is not a reason to rework ksh
initialization, and the logic should be changed to
check if fd 0 is a tty, for example, as suggested by
the user:

[ ! -t 0 ] && return

or some variant, checking for the "i" character in $-

Makes sense - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614694 was about the same in the setup package, fixing this issue in /etc/profile, but profile.d scripts were never modified the same way.
