I have /bin/sh as the login shell for uucp logins with the following .profile

. /etc/TIMEZONE
exec /usr/lib/uucp/uucico

Obnoxious, but it works.  Can someone at AT&T explain why they didn't see fit
to make it a system global overideable with an environment variable?  After
all, there aren't *that* many systems with all of the users in different
time zones.
