In base-passwd 3.5.30, I changed uucp's shell to /usr/sbin/nologin (a
change that I really should have made about ten years ago). This has
unfortunately had a bit of collateral damage: uucp's cron.daily job will
fail because it tries to use "su uucp" without overriding the shell.
Here's a fix:
* Pass "-s /bin/sh" to "su uucp" to cope with the change of uucp's shell
in base-passwd 3.5.30.
