In AIX there's a list of shells in /etc/security/login.cfg. Now I downloaded bash from IBM (<https://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/bash/bash-4.4-3.aix6.1.ppc.rpm>) and this version of bash is now running. But there is the next problem with emacs (new thread).

/etc/shell is not important. Only /etc/security/login.cfg!
