Using isql in korn shell
Hi all,
I have two accounts in a Unix server, the first one uses .tcsh as default shell and the other uses .ksh (korn shell) as default.
When I login using the account with .tcsh default, I can use the isql command and connect to our database server. However, when I use the other account that uses korn shell (.ksh) as default, the isql does not work. Unix does not recognise it.
I noticed that in the .tcsh account, i have these two files .login and .tcshrc, which I think contain the configuration to connect to our database server.
I tried copying these files to my .ksh account, and even tried renaming the file .tcshrc to .cshrc but still, the .ksh account does not recognise the isql command.
Any suggestions how I can make my .ksh account recognise isql? I also noticed that even though i have this .login file in my .ksh account, it does not load. (as the echo command is not being displayed)
Thank you.

shells(4) File Formats shells(4)
NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
/bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh,
/usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).

/etc/shells lists shells on system
