     Your problem is very simple... Go into the authorize utility, and
set all DEC Shell users lgicmd to be something (or nothing!) other then 
mgr$login (which is a logical that points to syslogin.com).  Our
DEC Shell users have lgicmd set to .PROFILE  (which is what dec
suggests).  They have a file called .PROFILE in their sys$login
directory (naturally!), with Shell commands.  All of this is modeled 
somewhat after unix I suppose.  
     Hope this helps!
