There's nothing wrong with that.

BTW, after ksh install, or after ArcServer install?
i.e. do you really know which package caused the change, or might it be
either of them.

All your logins, or for specific users?
If it's all, check out bash's startup files.
Most likely the back system has installed a config file in
	/etc/profile.d
See if it has. And if so, post that script - it's probably got an
insufficiently paranoid piece of shell in it that can be corrected.
