[comp.sys.next] ksh and OS2.0

Is anyone running the Korn shell (ksh) on their systems?
After we upgraded to 2.0, I noticed that if I was remotely logged
in to a NeXT (via rlogin, whether from another NeXT or not), an
invocation of `more' would simply lock up the session. There was
no way to break out except to break the connection. I think `su'
(as in `su root') had the same effect. This happens only when
the remote NeXT account's login shell is ksh. Ksh behaves just
fine while running locally, or when coming in remotely via dialup.
Since NeXT does not provide ksh with their systems, I don't suppose
they'd be too eager to help me out with this. Anyway, there seems to
be some sort of animosity here between ksh and tcp/ip (I guess), under
2.0. Any ideas?
