From man ksh:
Code:
              -p      Disables processing of the $HOME/.profile file and  uses
                      the  file  /etc/suid_profile  instead  of  the ENV file.
                      This mode is on whenever the effective uid (gid) is  not
                      equal  to  the  real uid (gid).  Turning this off causes
                      the effective uid and gid to be set to the real uid  and
                      gid.
