Has anyone else noticed that man ksh displays a page that at least
appears not to be about ksh93 or the newer korn shell?
The first three items:
NAME
sh, rsh, pfsh - shell, the standard/restricted command and
programming
language
SYNOPSIS
sh [ +-abcefhikmnoprstuvxCDP ] [ -R file ] [ +-o option ] ... [
- ] [
arg ... ]
rsh [ +-abcefhikmnoprstuvxCD ] [ -R file ] [ +-o option ] ...
[ - ] [
arg ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Sh is a command and programming language that executes commands
read from a terminal or a file. Rsh is a restricted version of
the standard command interpreter sh; it is used to set up login
names and execution environments whose capabilities are more
controlled than those of the standard shell. Rpfsh is a
profile shell version of the standard com- mand interpreter sh;
it is used to to execute commands with the attributes specified
by the user's profiles (see pfexec(1)). See Invo- cation below
for the meaning of arguments to the shell.
Is this somekind of error?

Gack, what is the date on your man page?
Here it is:
ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42519 Mar 23 2005 \
/usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz

Neither mksh or pdksh are really `Korn' shells far as I know.
