I did some googling around for this to no avail. Sorry 'bout that.
=46rom 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.
