Okay. Good to know. If cron-executed scripts don't matter about it, it is
okay. And in general, you have this interpreter definition at the beginning
of scripts, so this also should make no trouble as the correct shell is being
used for execution.

Ehm, no. I stay my way calling "ksh" after "su -" manually. But it is nice to
know about the fact NetBSD doesn't get any problems.
