This is a Debian Bookworm install.
It might be coming from one of the user's dot files. You can try these: PS4='+ $BASH_SOURCE:$FUNCNAME:$LINENO:' bash -ilxc : 2>&1 | grep en_DE PS4='+ $BASH_SOURCE:$FUNCNAME:$LINENO:' bash -ixc : 2>&1 | grep en_DE The first one launches a login shell, and the second launches a non-login shell. If that definition is coming from a dot file read by their shell, it should show up in one or both of those. If it's not coming from the user's shell config, then my next guess would have been PAM, but I'm pretty sure all the PAM configs are in /etc.
