OpenSSH doesn't perform any transformation of environment variables that are forwarded. Some possibilities: * your vendor included a patch to transform these environment variables * the enviornment variables are being overridden by PAM (see https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1346 ) * they are being overridden by a shell initialisation file (e.g. .bash_profile) -d _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
