[Bug 584249] Re: pam_env does not evaluate ~/.pam_environment

[Andrey Bondarenko]

Oops. I'm sorry, but the issue is not a bug at all.

Restarting shell does not use pam modules. You have to relogin or use
other methods like sudo to trigger pam usage. I'm closing this bug as
invalid.

Title:
  pam_env does not evaluate ~/.pam_environment

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 10.04, any environment variables assigned in ~/.pam_environment do not seem to be applied.
  for example if I have a ~/.pam_environment as follows

  MY_VARIABLE="SOMETHING"

  
  after restarting and starting a shell I would expect
  echo $MY_VARIABLE
  to respond with 
  SOMETHING

  but instead the result is blank
