who runs .profile?

! I'm running A/UX and a strange thing (tm) is happening.  When I login
! (my login shell is ksh) my .profile is not being run.  And when I run
! mail, my .mailrc isn't being run.  $HOME is correctly set to my home
! directory, I own my .* files and they have read permission.  Is it
! my breath?

	They will probably need execute permission also.
