rksh is used to set up login names and execution environ-
ments whose capabilities are more controlled than those of
the standard shell. The actions of rksh are identical to
those of ksh, except that the following are disallowed:
o changing directory (see cd(1))
o setting the value of SHELL, ENV, or PATH
o specifying path or command names containing /
o redirecting output (>, >|, <>, and >>)
o changing group (see newgrp(1)).
The restrictions above are enforced after .profile and the
ENV files are interpreted.
When a command to be executed is found to be a shell pro-
cedure, rksh invokes ksh to execute it. Thus, it is possi-
ble to provide to the end-user shell procedures that have
access to the full power of the standard shell, while impos-
ing a limited menu of commands; this scheme assumes that the
end-user does not have write and execute permissions in the
same directory.
The net effect of these rules is that the writer of the
.profile has complete control over user actions, by perform-
ing guaranteed setup actions and leaving the user in an
appropriate directory (probably not the login directory).
The system administrator often sets up a directory of com-
mands (that is, /usr/rbin) that can be safely invoked by
rksh.
still it's not perfect, but a good way to start...

Hi
I want to know which profile will be called when a user without home directory is created.
When I created a user without home directory(by setting in /etc/default/useradd), the user is able to login directly into the main "/" folder but with only read permissions.
Thanks

chsh
CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)NAME
chsh - change login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [options] [LOGIN]
DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change
the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account.
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the chsh command are:
-h, --help
Display help message and exit.
-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.
-s, --shell SHELL
The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell.
If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new
value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.
NOTE
The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser,
and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh
in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell
back to its original value.
FILES
/etc/passwd
User account information.
/etc/shells
List of valid login shells.
/etc/login.defs
Shadow password suite configuration.
