To get colours, try these changes, works for me:

$ cat /etc/profile
[ -o interactive -a $TERM = 'xterm' ] && export TERM=nxterm
[ -o interactive -a $SHELL = '/bin/ksh' ] && . /etc/ksh.kshrc
[ -o interactive -a $SHELL = '/bin/rksh' ] && . /etc/ksh.kshrc 2>/dev/null

$ fgrep -B 7 -A 2 -n \*xterm /etc/ksh.kshrc
72-             if [ "$tty" != "$console" ]; then
73-                     # ilabel
74-                     ILS='\033]L'; ILE='\033\\'
75-                     # window title bar
76-                     WLS='\033]l'; WLE='\033\\'
77-             fi
78-             ;;
79:     *xterm*)
80-             ILS='\033]1;'; ILE='\007'
81-             WLS='\033]2;'; WLE='\007'
