I seem to be having the same problem with _my_ lifestyle... :-( I'd given up on per-user env vars for awhile, but I'm now installing a new computer so I'm having another go.
I tested ~/.pam_environment: PAT OVERRIDE=${PATH} PATH OVERRIDE=/home/alan/bin:${PATH} and this happens [on console login]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ set|grep ^PAT PAT=/home/alan/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games so it seems PATH gets set to what I told it to, PAT gets set based on that value (despite being earlier in ~/.pam_environment), then something else unsets it. And it's not just ssh-agent doing it, because it happens even if I remove the openssh-client package. -- ssh-agent clobbers LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other environment variables https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47958 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
