I looked over the init scripts. I cannot find the exact place that
reads /etc/environment.

pam_env.so is part of the PAM auth setup. Note you should really
use /etc/security/pam_env.conf instead, AFAICT /etc/environment is
read for backwards compatibility, but is deprecated.

Also look at the files in /etc/pam.d. Services such as login, ssh
and gdm/kdm which start user sessions have lines like:

session required pam_env.so readenv=1

which set up the user environment using /etc/security/pam_env.conf
and/or /etc/environment.


Regards,
Roger

Is the file deprecated in Lenny, or later? pam_env(8) mentions nothing about
deprecation of the file, just claims it is the default.
