Help,
	I'm having trouble with a uucp site login. The /etc/motd file
gets sent to the terminal when the login is complete before the uucico
gets started. This really wrecks one site if I have a long motd. As I use 
the motd regularly, I don't want to just get rid of it for all users. 

	My initial though was that the motd gets sent by /etc/profile. 
(Seems like it was on other systems.) But in SCO XENIX 386 2.3.2
the distribution /etc/profile script is even more terse than /bin/true.
It contains absolutly nothing after the copyright notice. Ergo, there
is nothing for me to edit. I did a strings on /etc/login and found
a reference to .hushlogin so I tried making an empty file named .hushlogin.
No good. It doesn't stop the motd. I also can't find any reference to
.hushlogin in the FM. 

	I have two questions therefore; how do I keep the motd from
going to a uucico user, and what is the syntax for stuff in .hushlogin?

Thanks,
Michael
