You can make a soft link to the zsh --which
purportedly provides some extensions to ksh's
functionality:

ln -s /bin/ksh /bin/zsh

Then simply invoke and customize your new "ksh"

I came across the problem when installing IBM
middleware. Needless to say the above incantation
saved the day.

On the other hand, the Penguin will allow you freedom
of choice.  Download the RPM for the public domain
korn shell (pdksh) and install and customize to your
pleasure.  I believe Slackware continues including it.
