The AcceptEnv option is only avalible with ssh 3.9 > Debian
currently only has 3.8.1p1 in stable and testing. (4.2 unstable)
Is there an other way to solve the env. problem?
I don't know. The Fedora and Debian systems that I use have
AcceptEnv.
I have the same problem and the only thing I found was rsh. :-/
For my servers I will do following:
Have a simple damon that executes all scripts in a folder and delete
the file after executing.
And I will have a script that just copy the command as text file to
all my slaves where the damon will execute it.
This is very poor but will work with older version of ssh as well.
