Package: openssh-client Version: 1:4.3p2-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
the SendEnv config option is an 'append-only' option making it impossible to overwrite settings from /etc/ssh/ssh_config (the default there is 'SendEnv LANG LC_*') in .ssh/config This may be needed for 'broken servers' that don't have the locales available that are used on the client, but still run a sshd with 'AcceptEnv LANG LC_*' resulting in tons of error messages during login. I could imagine a few possibilities to enhance SendEnv: # SendEnv without any arguments clears the current list SendEnv # SendEnv with special argument '!' clears the current list SendEnv ! # variables prefixed with an '!' won't be exported to the server # even is they are in the SenvEnv list # (Each SendEnv option appends to the right side of the list # the list is checked from left to right and the rightmost match # determines the fate of a variable.) SendEnv !LC_* LC_FOO # would override the LC_* setting (but not the LANG setting) from # /etc/ssh/ssh_config, as a result LANG and LC_FOO would be exported to # the server Since there is no client specific sshd_config a reset/clear argument for AcceptEnv would not be useful, but the '!' prefix could be: # this machine only speaks POSIX AcceptEnv LANG LC_* !LC_MESSAGES Andreas -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages openssh-client depends on: ii adduser 3.87 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debc 1.5.1 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.13.19 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.38+1.39-WIP-2005.12.31-1 common error description library ii libedit2 2.9.cvs.20050518-2.2 BSD editline and history libraries ii libkrb53 1.4.3-7 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8b-2 SSL shared libraries ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime openssh-client recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
