The variables were actually set by pam_env, commenting out the entry caused them to stay unset. Trying to remove the non alphanumeric variables (by non alphanumeric i mean not even the underscore is allowed, I need some variables with underscores in their names though) prevented root to log in. Other user accounts were still working right though. For now I put read_env=0 and sticked the variables in pam_env.conf. > There are extensive docs an PAM and each of the modules in the "PAM > Adminitrator's > Guide" available in the libpam-doc package (in html, ps, sgml, and text > formats). > Thank you for the link, I downloaded the package and I will read the doc. -Lex
