I have written a login routine for SysV AT&T and Interactive unix.  Although
it works, a few items are unresolved.  These are:

1.  What is the use of ALTSHELL= and CONSOLE= in /etc/default/login?
    What action should login take with these parameters?

2.  What special action (if any) should be taken if the login shell
    is /usr/lib/uucico?  For example, should login set the uid/gid to
    uucp/uucp?

3.  A 'strings' on the AT&T login indicates that files /etc/dialups 
    and /etc/d_passwd might be referenced.  What are these used for?

Thanks a bunch,

       tony
