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

[kanub]

I confirm the bug for "encrypted home directories". The workaround of
"g-montag" works.

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  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 (or relogin), open a shell and try:
+ echo $MY_VARIABLE
  
- after restarting and starting a shell I would expect
- echo $MY_VARIABLE
- to respond with 
- SOMETHING
+ expected: SOMETHING
  
  but instead the result is blank
