*I* would not do such things. When I wrote "rename" I meant to give  
the files names that aren't recognised (and used) by the shell  
interpreters.

My best assumption is that Tiger's /usr/bin/login tool behaves  
differently that Leopard's one. The manual page states:

      Immediately after logging a user in, login displays the system  
copyright
      notice, the date and time the user last logged in, the message  
of the day
      as well as other information.  If the file ``.hushlogin''  
exists in the
      user's home directory, all of these messages are suppressed.   
This is to
      simplify logins for non-human users, such as uucp(1).  Login  
then records
      an entry in the wtmp(5) and utmp(5) files and executes the  
user's command
      interpreter.

So to me it seems a different approach is necessary ...
