Other values that login will read:

ALTSHELL=
        If set to YES will place SHELL="value from passwd entry for shell" in the
        environment - assuming the entry is non-null. If the entry is null,
        login will use /sbin/sh or /usr/bin/sh (if /sbin/sh is not executable)
        and not place the SHELL= environment variable. Default value in
        login default value is YES.
PASSREQ=
        Indicates if all users must have a password. Default is YES (based on value
        in login default file). If no entry in login default file, passwords are
        not required.
TIMEZONE=
        Value used for timezone *if* the file /etc/TIMEZONE does not have a value.
        If that file exists and has a value, the value in the login default file
        is not used. If neither have values, the file /usr/lib/locale/TZ/localtime
        is used. Default value is none.
HZ=
        Value of the HZ environment variable. Default is 100 (for desktop systems) -
        set in login default file.
PATH=
        If login uid is not 0, the default path provided. Default: /usr/bin
SUPATH=
        If login uid is 0, the default path provided. Default:
                /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/etc
ULIMIT=
        Ulimit applied to all logins. Default is 0 (unlimited).
TIMEOUT=
        Number of seconds before login gives up waiting for input. Default is 60.
        Maximum is 900 (15 minutes).
UMASK=
        Default value is 022 which will be applied if a faulty umask is provided
        or none is specified.
IDLEWEEKS=
        Number of weeks password can be expired before logins are denied.
        Default is no value (i.e., not checked). If set to zero, all expired
        passwords (no matter how long expired) will require root intervention
        to restore access.

Changes to this file will be seen the next time a login is attempted. Access should
be restricted to root (for writing). The security paranoid could make a case for
blocking read access to others also.

Additional note: if the file /var/adm/loginlog is present, failed login attempts
        will be logged in that file after the fifth consecutive failure.

         * There is a priority set up here.  If /etc/default/init has*
         * a value for TZ, that value remains top priority.  If the  *
         * file /etc/default/login has TIMEZONE set, that has second *
         * highest priority not overriding the value of TZ in        *
         * /etc/default/init.                                        *
         *                                                           *
         * (/etc/TIMEZONE file is linked to /etc/default/init file.) *

I believe the /usr/lib/locale/TZ/localtime file no longer exists, so if TZ isn't set in the environment, you get GMT/UTC.

The pathname is /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/localtime, not
/usr/lib/locale/TZ/localtime.

In Solaris 2.2, if TZ isn't set, the library code opens /etc/default/init.

(I tested this with truss -t open on a Solaris 2.1 date binary, running on
Solaris 2.1).

hostname login:

What's the best way to disable it?

Also, where might there be documentation on the defaults on /etc/defaults?

Thanks, Torben

#TIMEZONE=EST5EDT
HZ=100
#ULIMIT=4096
#CONSOLE=/dev/console
#PASSREQ=YES
ALTSHELL=YES

I know this works because it did for me.  What I *don't* know is the
exact meaning for each field.  If someone know that, let us all in on
the secret!
