[this came up in a different thread, but since the question has taken on a whole new bent, i thought i'd re-thread it]
i'd like to forward a customized environment variable from machine A
to machine B, when i connect via ssh. reading the ssh manpage, it
seems that i should be able to create '~/.ssh/environment' containing
'MYVARIABLE=foo' on machine A, and then, upon ssh'ing to machine B,
'echo $MYVARIABLE' should print out 'foo'.
but it doesn't. am i missing something? i can't see anything
relevant on the sshd manpage, so i don't think i need to do anything
to the sshd config on machine B.
help?
tia,
