I beg to differ, Jake. At a previous job, we did just exactly what Max is asking about. When users would log on, part of their .profile was an "exec isql -u main[1234...]" (or something like that -- hardly any users were granted access directly into unix). We further simplified it by making all users within the same group have the same home directory, and thus the same .profile. In the ISQL menu system, we would have different "main" menus (named "main1", "main2", etc.), but there would often be "sharing" of sub-menus. Worked well!!
