Yeah. Ain't that just GREAT?? I mimiced the SCO UNIX 3.2 usage to get
around the problem. 

Once:
mkdir /usr/spool/uucplogins

Each time you add a user:
mkuser uuralph
mkdir /usr/spool/uucplogins/uuralph
chown uuralph /usr/spool/uucplogins/uuralph
chgrp uucp /usr/spool/uucplogins/uuralph
rm -r /usr/spool/uucp/uuralph
edit /etc/passwd to change login directory

I suppose if I did this very often, I'd change 'mkuser'.  (What a
nuisance!  I haven't found anything that makes use of the login
directory.  '.hushlogin' doesn't appear to work.)
