You may be interrested in discussion in upstream mailing list https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/pam-developers/2011-June/000075.html.

Currently available version 1.1.4 still reads .pam_environment as conf file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145380 Title: pam_env should document per-user environment file ~/.pam_environment more clearly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pam/+bug/145380/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
