[Bug 25700] Re: sudo does not use /etc/environment on interactive logins (through pam_env)
From sudo 1.7.0 WHATSNEW file: * Support for /etc/environment on AIX and Linux. If sudo is run with the -i flag, the contents of /etc/environment are used to populate the new environment that is passed to the command being run. there's a bug in that the contents are taken literally instead of stripping quotes though, bug #387262. I see some comments requested usage of pam_env in sudo; while that's not entirely unreasonnable, I think it would make it harder to understand why some sudo environment-handlign options don't work as expected. ** Changed in: sudo (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- sudo does not use /etc/environment on interactive logins (through pam_env) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Another workaround is to become root with `sudo su` rather than `sudo -i` or `sudo -u`. -- sudo does not use /etc/environment on interactive logins (through pam_env) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
