After I installed 2.4, ksh forgot that it knows about history files -
but only on root's login. ^P (I use the emacs version) just rings the
bell, even if previous commands exist. /history exists and is writable,
but is empty. Everything works fine on my normal user login.

I've obviously forgotten something stupid; what is it?
