I installed openSuSE 11.4 several months ago as an upgrade with several
problems but eventually got it working and have been using ever since.  Tried a
clean install of openSuSE 12.1 which wouldn't even boot but straightened out
the raid device names and got it to boot.  Decided there were too many problems
with 12.1 and did a clean install of 11.4 and it booted fine.  Installed all of
the current patches, still everything is fine.  I normally used ksh as my shell
so I changed the shell via the yast admin screens but could not get the system
to run ksh, no matter what I tried it still ran bash.

Process followed:
Boot 11.4
#expected login configuration using default shell
rjriley@rich:~> grep rjriley /etc/passwd
rjriley:x:1000:100:Richard Riley:/home/rjriley:/bin/bash
rjriley@rich:~> ps -f
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
rjriley   3401  3399  0 09:31 pts/2    00:00:00 /bin/bash
rjriley   5784  3401 50 09:32 pts/2    00:00:00 ps -f
rjriley@rich:~>  exit

# Change shell via User and Group Administration
# login (Terminal Console)
rjriley@rich:~> grep rjriley /etc/passwd
rjriley:x:1000:100:Richard Riley:/home/rjriley:/usr/bin/ksh
rjriley@rich:~> ps -f
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
rjriley   6221  3399  0 09:37 pts/3    00:00:00 /bin/bash
rjriley   6241  6221  0 09:38 pts/3    00:00:00 ps -f
rjriley@rich:~> exit

# Reboot just in case it's cached somewhere
# login (Terminal Console)
rjriley@rich:~> grep rjriley /etc/passwd
rjriley:x:1000:100:Richard Riley:/home/rjriley:/usr/bin/ksh
rjriley@rich:~> ps -f
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
rjriley   5528  5526  0 09:43 pts/1    00:00:00 /bin/bash
rjriley   5558  5528  0 09:44 pts/1    00:00:00 ps -f
rjriley@rich:~>  id
uid=1000(rjriley) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),33(video)
rjriley@rich:~> exit

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install openSuSE 11.4 with KDE and all patches (with all community
repositories)
2.Change default shell (bash) for my account using Yast User and Group
Administration to use ksh.
3.Login via Terminal Console to command line shell.
4. show processes running, particularly the login shell
Actual Results:  
The login shell is still bash

Expected Results:  
The login shell should have been /usr/bin/ksh

The only work-around I've found is to start ksh from the .bashrc file
