After booting 6.1 there is a graphical login on the console. After logging in as root,
photon comes up. If I now start a terminal, where does the ‘ksh’ that runs in the pterm
source it’s profile? It’s not reading /etc/profile, or /root/.profile (I think this would only
occur if I did a remote login). I cant find that it sources anything.

Run ‘pterm -l’ instead. You can set it by configuring your shelf and also
by editing $HOME/.ph/wm/wm.menu.

This is helpful. I am still interested in knowing where the default environment
and variables come from when a ksh is started. Are these compiled in?

Actually, photon is started from a shell that has read /etc/profile. Once
you’re in photon though, /etc/profile isn’t read again (unless you do a
pterm -l) If you wanted a nice way to make sure that your local settings
get loaded, try exporting ‘ENV=$HOME/.kshrc’ in the /etc/profile and then
every shell you start should source that file. (Thanks Wojtek 
We
already try to do that in /etc/profile but the code is flawed - it tries to
set ENV=$HOME/$SHELL##* which doesn’t work (because your shell will be ‘sh’,
not ‘ksh’).
