Bug#672993: openssh-server: sshd should AcceptEnv EDITOR
Package: openssh-server Version: 1:5.9p1-5 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, When several fellow hackers are maintaining a server, but have different tastes when it comes to editing tools, they may start unending flame wars and even come to blows. To bring peace in such a work environment, I suggest applying one minor yet essential change in /etc/ssh/sshd_config from: AcceptEnv LANG LC_* to AcceptEnv LANG LC_* EDITOR What do you think?

It's a configuration file for a reason. I added the locale variables there because some programs misbehave if they're unset or don't match the terminal, but I'm reluctant to start adding more variables with lower impact; I think it would get out of hand very quickly.

I suggested to make this change globally because it sounds like a good practice, plus since I do a lot of sysadmining professionally I'd rather avoid doing it on each and every hundred of boxes/templates I'll setup over the next couple years : And because that was quite a fun bugreport to submit :) -- Sylvain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
