Hi
I am using
OpenSSH_6.2p2 Ubuntu-6ubuntu0.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
on a Ubuntu 13.10 release for access to various kinds of systems. This
recent Ubuntu OS insists on standard conforming locales, i.e.
de_DE.UTF-8 instead of de_DE.utf8 as in the previous release. When I am
using SSH to communicate with another system not being able to process
the standard conformant setting (in my case HP-UX B.11.31), problems
arise, because the new setting cannot be processed. Even when I am
specifying the variable in the environment file of SSH in a form usable
by the remote system, they are changed into the standard conformant
setting first, before being transferred. This is a bug, because these
environment variables are intended to be processed on the remote system
as given in the local file. SSH should keep the values in the original
format specified and rely on translation by the remote system. It is
pointless to use setlocale(3) locally.
Best Regards
C. Wieschiolek
