How to Configure the Telnet Server to Use the Korn Shell
This article was previously published under Q201575
This article outlines how to configure your Services for UNIX
telnet server to use the Korn Shell (Sh.exe) in place of the default logon shell (Cmd.exe).
The following instructions assume that Services for UNIX has
been installed to the C:\SFU directory. This is not the default directory,
but it is easier to show. The assumption is also made that you have
created a user named TelnetUser and assigned this user a home directory
of F:\home\TelnetUser.
- Run Notepad and insert the following lines:
@echo off
C:\SFU\Shell\SH.EXE -rL
- Save this file as C:\SFU\Telnet\shell.bat.
- Create a new file in Notepad and insert the following lines:
EDITOR=vi
export EDITOR
alias ll="ls -l"
alias la="ls -a"
USERNAME=`basename $PWD`
export USERNAME
USER=$USERNAME
export USER
LOGNAME=$USERNAME
export LOGNAME
echo
echo
echo "Welcome to the Korn Shell!"
echo
echo
- Save this file as F:\home\TelnetUser\profile.ksh.
- Run Tlntadmn.exe from Start, Run or from a command prompt.
- Select selection number 3 to make a registry change.
- Select selection number 4 to change the default shell.
- Change DefaultShell to C:\SFU\Telnet\shell.bat
- Select selection number 0 to exit this menu.
- Select selection number 5 to stop the Telnet service.
- Select selection number 4 to start the Telnet service.
- Telnet in and test your modifications.
If you need to go back to the default Cmd.exe shell, the following is the
exact syntax used for DefaultShell:
%SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /q /k

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
