-sh is the login shell on the remote host.
Check .profile e.g. with

ssh host cat .profile

Hi,

You should check the /etc/profile to see if the file is created, the permissions on the file and the fact that it already exists would cause the issue.

I would suggest that some one has maybe cloned a profile, Or perhaps a common home directory is set.
