Yeah.

You're almost always better off using pam_env and 
/etc/security/pam_env.conf . It's _much_ nicer to work with. You may 
need to modify your PAM configuration to use it, but it's really quite 
simple to use. pam_env is probably already on your distro, and the man 
pages should be enough info to get you started.
