[Fingerforce-devel] Bug#469917: libpam-thinkfinger: Not load locale configure from /etc/default/locale

[zigler zang]

Package: libpam-thinkfinger
Version: 0.3+rev118.2-2
Severity: wishlist

For I am a chinese user of debian, I set my default locale in
/etc/default/locale as:

cat /etc/default/locale
LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
LANGUAGE="zh_CN:zh"

and I login to X system with xdm.
If I login with a password, the locale should looks like:
LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=zh_CN:zh
LC_...="zh_CN.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=""

While if I login with thinkfinger, the locale becomes:
LANG=""
LANGUAGE="POSIX"
LC_...="POSIX"
LC_ALL=""

It seems like that thinkfinger would not read configures from
/etc/default/locale.

Thx for your great work.

Best regards
