Hi Matthew,

thanks for the report. However, we'd need some details on what exactly
isn't working. Does the PostgreSQL server log have some more
information?

These are just warnings that you can ignore. The problem isn't even in
PostgreSQL, but in PAM (/usr/sbin/pam_getenv). There's been a
gazillion of bug reports about it like yours, but the PAM people
haven't fixed it yet :(
