That seems to be the problem. We certainly need to remove the "noenv" directive from the pam_mail line in the default login PAM configuration file: # Prints the status of the user's mailbox upon succesful login # (Replaces the `MAIL_CHECK_ENAB' option from login.defs). You # can also enable a MAIL environment variable from here, but it # is better handled by /etc/login.defs, since userdel also uses # it to make sure that removing a user, also removes their mail # spool file. session optional pam_mail.so standard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
