Hi
I started using x11/slim a week ago and I must say I love it. One thing I
noticed is that some environment variables don't get set which I normally have
when I login at the console. To analyze the problem I run:
# logging in via syscons
$ env | sort> normal-login
# logging in via slim and then invoking an xterm
$ env | sort> slim-login
A diff showed the following difference:
-PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/stvy/bin:/home/stvy/bin:/home/stvy/bin
+PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/stvy/bin
-SHLVL=2
+SHLVL=1
-XTERM_LOCALE=en_US.UTF-8
+XTERM_LOCALE=C
-FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES
Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong? I noticed that FTP_PASSIVE_MODE
gets set in /etc/login.conf.
It's as if slim does not load /etc/login.conf
Thanks you for your help.

The login via the tty is done using a full login, the problem with slim
is that it only calls a shell to run a .xinitrc (or .xsession) located
in the user home directory thus removing every environment variable.
Because I never found a solution, I removed slim :(
