This is not a bug in pam_env. Your expectation does not match the
design of pam_env; pam_env never modifies the application's environment,
it only populates the pam-handle-specific "environment" list with a set
of variables that the application can then consume.
You appear to be expecting that you can use pam_env to set an
environment variable that will then be seen by a subsequent module in
the authentication stack, and that's not what it's for.
> auth required pam_env.so readenv=1
envfile=/opt/IBM/informix/etc/locale user_readenv=0
> My solution to this issue was a self written PAM-Module
It sounds to me like this is not reusable in the least and what you
actually want is to set the environment of the server process at start-
up time.
