IIRC some platforms like the environment passed as arguments to 
/bin/login rather than as traditional environment strings. What does 
login's manpage say?

If this is the case, it wouldn't be too change the invocation of login 
to pass them. We already have code to manage argument lists (used by scp 
and sftp).
