Bug#784158: Missing pam_env.so user_readenv=1 in the pam file

[Christoph Anton Mitterer <calestyo@scientia.net>]

Hey.

Anything new about this?


It's clear that .profile and friends is *not* the right place to set
the path.

I would say however, that .xsessionrc isn't either, simply be because
this would again be just for X, so users would need to set their
PATH/etc. again at different locations.


Doing this in PAM seems a proper way and adding user_readenv=1 seems to
be not very invasive.


I've also filed:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=989919
which asks the maintainers for login doing the same.


Cheers,
Chris.
