Here's the scenario. I'm logged into host1, and I ssh to host2.
user@host1 ~$ ssh host2
user@host2 ~$
host2 has a file ~/.bashrc that I'd liked sourced on login. In particular, it
sets a number of environment variables I want to use.
Initially .bashrc wasn't being executed (is this usual?).
So I linked .ssh/rc to .bashrc
user@host2 ~$ ln -s ~/.bashrc ~/.ssh/rc
Now .bashrc is executed when I ssh to host2. Now, with my limited understand,
.ssh/rc is sourced *before* bash is run, so bash doesn't seem to inherit any
of the environment variables set in .bashrc. How do I get the environment
variables set in .bashrc to stick?
I know I can use .ssh/environment for some simple things, but I have more
complex uses that I need .bashrc for.
Thanks,
