You're sysadmin people should have been tortured and shot.  IMO, there's no 
good reason for not adding ksh to /etc/shells.  If they were lazy, then it's 
trivial to have an NFS mounted fs which contains the master 'shells' list, 
then just symlink everyone's /etc/shells to it, or rdist the sucker around.
