Wait a second -- there's something I don't understand. Ordinarily the
lp account is set up without a default login shell. I guess I had assumed
that this would inhibit interactive use of the machine by a person trying
to login as "lp". On a regular user account, a login shell is specified.
So could someone tell me what does happen if someone does try to login as
lp? Or as uucp, for that matter...
