Fixed : SHELL env variable not red

[Olivier <ldap@guillard.nom.fr>]

Just to update on that :

I have received this RedHat update notification last night :

Synopsis
openldap bug fix and enhancement update

updated : 06/12/11

Subject

Updated openldap packages that fix number of bugs and add various enhancements
are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description
...
https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.2_Technical_Notes/openldap.html#RHBA-2011-1514


I updated and the loginShell variable is now properly used over authentication
( with no change on my initial configuration).

I also see that many TLS issues that I have faced in the passed seem to have
been fixed : I'm going to check that.

Best,
