The following reply was made to PR ports/92817; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Joe Kelsey <joe@zircon.seattle.wa.us> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, trasz@pin.if.uz.zgora.pl Cc: Subject: Re: ports/92817: ksh93: history does not work Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2006 15:52:03 -0800 You apparantly think that bash and ksh can share history files. This is completely incorrect. You cannot use your .bash_history file as input to ksh. The solution would involve setting a ksh environment in ~/envfile and arranging that when ksh starts you export ENV=~/envfile I have no difficulty using ksh as my login shell and thus do not even try to ever run anything else. I recommend that you discontinue use of bash and simply use ksh alone. I cannot reproduce your problem report from the information provided. If you want me to spend more time researching this problem, then I need more information, such as your current environment (env command), your current .profile and your current ENV file. /Joe
