re: T900: ./t900[29]: LOGNAME: This variable is read only.

This is set by default in AIX in /etc/profile

michael@x065:[/data/prj/gnu/rcs/rcs-5.9.4/tests]grep -n LOGNAME
/etc/profile
37:readonly LOGNAME
44:MAIL=/usr/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
60:export LOGNAME MAIL MAILMSG TERM

In AIX it should be an error if LOGNAME is not readonly
