Can ksh be added to the athena linux release?  The software for a class we
are trying to move to athena linux includes a third party
binary program that creates a #!/bin/ksh executable script.
I don't see a graceful workaround at the moment.

The redhat package is pdksh and should be available through the proxy server.

Thanks,
Mike
