    We have installed bash on our AIX 5.3 systems. I ran chsh to change my default shell to bash. This seems to work. When I login and do a 'ps x', I see that bash is in the process list and ksh is not.

    However, when I try the bash keystrokes, Ctrl+n, Ctrl+n, etc, it does not work. If I type 'bash' at the command line, the bash keystrokes DO work.

    What is going on here? Is there something special I need to do to change my default shell on AIX?

    Thanks.

    Not played with bash on AIX, but is it running something in your .profile when you log in which is affecting the bash shell (that doesn't get run when you run bash from the command line).
