The way I handle the 'su uucp' problem is to make a UUCP entry
in passwd right after the uucp entry.  The UUCP user has a normal shell.
After logging in, the owner of files shows as uucp due to the behavior
of the getpwent scanning algorithm, which is OK by me.

By the way, is much better to have different logins for each machine you
attach to.  This way, you can do things like last to find out how good
the connection is.  Also, there is more control over who calls you if each
connection is private.  (You old net fogies know this already.)
