I did some googling around for this to no avail. Sorry 'bout that. From the conversation you referred me to : " ... 'ssh' is a secure shell so it has a minimal environment...."
a. Did this change in one of the newer versions ? We have a few machines here configured the same way and we never got this problem before. b. What's the reason for "downsizing" the environment variable set ? If I'm already securely authenticated as X why shouldn't I see everything X would if he had opened a terminal locally ? Thanks.
