This is because there is a limited number of programs that can be selected
as the login shell, so that you couldn't make, say, /bin/logout be the
login shell by mistake. There is a file that lists the valid choices
in SMIT (and mkuser, which SMIT invokes under the covers) for the login
shell. That file is /etc/security/login.cfg. Just add /usr/lib/uucp/
uucico to the 'usw' stanza in the file and you can now select uucico as
the login shell for a user.
These are my opinions, not IBM's etc etc etc
