As Scott said, check that the shell that is listed for your username
is listed in the file /etc/shells. I forgot about this but it is important.

I also just had a quick peek at the ksysv home page... Here are the 
features...

Features:

    * nice graphical user interface: no need to hassle with cryptic symlinks
    * drag-and-drop: order entries by moving them around with the mouse
    * completely safe: nothing is written to disk until you say so
    * keyboard support: complete keyboard support
    * and, last but not least, unlimited undo!

It seems it's completely safe Dennis :)

Tom.
