Sorry, I seem to remember that this behaviour is hard-coded in 'login'. All
users except root get the dot! You can override this with /etc/profile just
overwriting the default path, or you can recompile login.
I think the same as you, that it shouldn't be added unless the sysadmin
specifically requires it. But then I'm a complete control freak and distrust
my users.
