I was having a problem with elm's newmail program notifying me when I had new mail. I traced the problem to the MAIL environment variable not being set. My shell (tcsh) doesn't set this for you but (as I understamd it) the login class stuff is supposed to set it (via the setenv tag). I am using the stock login.conf that came with 3.0-RELEASE (which is also what OS level I am using). SSH seems to work correctly but not xterm. I looked into the XFree source and noticed that the only call to setusercontext is in xdm when it forks off a new xdm under the users resource limits. The resource limits are getting set correctly -- just not the environment variables in the setenv login capabilities tag. Is there anyway to get xterm/xdm to set these so that xterm will inherit them???
