Problem with /etc/profile and motif

Hello,
  I have an relatively minor problem but annoying problem. Most folks log in
to the alpha 3000-600 running OSF 3.2 I manage via character based telnet.
All users on the system use the Korn shell. Telnet logins execute
/etc/profile and then $HOME/.profile as normal. However, any logins from the
console seem to skip /etc/profile and proceed directly to $HOME/.profile. The
PC-based X-terminal server (Xoftware/32) I am evaluating does not experience
the same problem. How do I get /etc/profile to run when logging in from the
console?
