/etc/postgresql/postgresql.env is run in the shell of the user `postgres'
to set the environment, and can be run by any other user who wants to
use PostgreSQL.

postgresql does not have any pam capability; I don't know what is going on
there.  It seems to be associated with PAM-enabled logins; does the file
/etc/postgresql/postgresql.env actually exist?  Who logged in at the time
of this message?
