[Bug 1083605] Re: env not changed in acc. with ~/.pam_environment if /home is on nfs

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Bug 1156670 with a similar issue as this one, not to say a duplicate,
has been successfully resolved. The discussion at the other bug on
possible causes why ~/.pam_environment appeared to be ignored may be of
interest.

It would be great if we could close this bug as a result of a working
solution.

Title:
  env not changed in acc. with ~/.pam_environment if /home is on nfs

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using localization setup from the login screen, the choice
  doesn't work because of a permission error, if the user's home
  directory is mounted with nfs. The problem happens because this is
  done by root, usually not able to write over nfs shares. The problem
  disappears if home directories are exported with no_root_squash
  option. So, something is making access as root, instead as user.

  I'm using Precise.
