Comment 31 for bug 64064

Hey Kees-

I must admit that I don't entirely grasp the scope of the issue you're raising with /home living on a networked filesystem (sorry).

 * Is your concern a security one, where a malicious user gaining access to the network file server could potentially inject badness in various users ~/bin?
 * Or is it a performance concern, in that we're adding a search in PATH on a remote filesystem?
 * ...?

In the mean time, I have a simple, one-line patch that adds ~/bin to the end of the initial PATH definition in /etc/environment.

Depending on Kees' explanation of his concerns, I can add some additional logic to libpam-modules.postinst to affirm that no user's ~bin is on a networked filesystem at /etc/environment creation time.
