I ran into a slight problem getting a UUCP account configured on my
RS/6000 and was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems.
The first problem I ran into, was that smit wouldn't let me designate
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico as the initial program.  Smit would give me an
error that the choice was invalid.  I ended up having to select /bin/ksh,
exit smit, and then edit /etc/passwd and change the /bin/ksh to what
I wanted.  Renetering smit showed that the change was affective.
The next problem I found was that when a uucp account logs in, I get
/etc/motd displayed on the screen!  Is there anyway to disable this
(other than renaming motd which is what I've done for the time being)?

On a related note, is there a way to create a new user with a group
other than the default?  When I create a user and then change the group
id to what I want, I then have to manually fix the home directory that
smit created and all the files in it to have the correct group id.
