Hello,
I am running into an issue attempting to send the USER variable using OpenSSH 3.9 for both the server and client.
My /etc/ssh/ssh_config contains the SendEnv USER keyword and value, and debug output confirms it is being sent:
#ssh -v -v -v -2 -l johndoe host5
debug1: Sending env USER = root
debug2: channel 0: request env confirm 0
I also have the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file with AcceptEnv USER.
However, the USER variable doesn't have the correct value on the remote machine, it has the value of johndoe (USER = johndoe):
debug1: Sending env USER = root
debug2: channel 0: request env confirm 0
debug3: Ignored env LS_COLORS
debug3: Ignored env KDEDIR
debug3: Ignored env MAIL
debug3: Ignored env PATH
debug3: Ignored env INPUTRC
debug3: Ignored env PWD
debug3: Ignored env LANG
debug3: Ignored env SSH_ASKPASS
debug3: Ignored env SHLVL
debug3: Ignored env HOME

debug3: Ignored env NIS_PATH
debug3: Ignored env G_BROKEN_FILENAMES
debug3: Ignored env _
debug3: Ignored env OLDPWD
debug2: channel 0: request shell confirm 0
debug2: fd 3 setting TCP_NODELAY
debug2: callback done
debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072
SunOS host5 5.6 Generic_105181-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
Environment:
USER=johndoe
Is the USER variable read only? What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Eric
