[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1026846: login: PATH set to ENV_SUPATH when logging in as a regular user

[Andrea Pappacoda]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.13+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal

Hi, after noticing that /usr/bin/games was not in my PATH, I tried to figure
out why. My PATH is currently set to
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin, which is the same
exact value found in /etc/login.defs under the variable ENV_SUPATH, which
should be the default PATH for superusers.

This issue isn't present when logging in as a different user which isn't part
of the sudo group.

List of my groups:

    tachi : tachi cdrom floppy sudo audio dip video plugdev users kvm netdev
bluetooth sbuild scanner lpadmin

List of the other user's groups:

    lorenzo : lorenzo lp cdrom audio video plugdev users netdev scanner

What could be the cause of this issue?

Thanks!
