It isn't a "global default locale" file, it's a list of environment variables to be set at login time. There probably should be a global default locale file, and the system startup scripts should probably take this setting as early as possible during system bootup. Individual /etc/init.d scripts will also need to read it. At the same time, we should probably look at sanitizing the environment in every /etc/init.d script to boot-time like settings, rather than using whatever settings might have been around at the time. > pam_env.so again, as the pam maintainers stated it is necessary at least > for sarge.
