When you add a newuser with useradd, it uses the /etc/skel to make the default
/home/<newuser> setup.
That means that each new user has a .bashrc and .bash-profile. There the user's name
is exported with:
export USERNAME BASH_ENV SHELL
In linuxconf you just get to select /bin/bash at the shell. Check to see if she has a
.bash_profile and what it reads.
