How to make sshd inherit environment variable from its parent process?

[Chansup Byun]

Hi,

I am using OpenSSH 4.2p1.
I need to make sshd process to inherit some environment variables (EVs) 
from its parent process.
It looks like sshd process only inherits a limited number of EVs:  HOME, 
LOGNAME, MAIL, PATH,PWD,SHELL,SSH_CLIENT,SSH_CONNECTION,TZ, and USER.

Is it possible to make the child sshd process inherit some EVs from its 
parent process?  Those EVs are dynamically set after submitting a job.

Please let me know how to do it if it's possible.

26768 /gridware/n1ge6u6/bin/sol-sparc64/sge_execd
 26769 sge_shepherd-412 -bg
   26785 -ksh /gridware/n1ge6u6/default/spool/hes-hpc4/job_scripts/412
     26847 /gridware/n1ge6u6/bin/sol-sparc64/qrsh -nostdin -inherit 
hes-hpc4 sleep 120; ec
       26850 /usr/local/bin/ssh -x -n -p 59527 hes-hpc4 exec 
'/gridware/n1ge6u6/utilbin/sol-
 26848 sge_shepherd-412 -bg
   26849 /usr/local/sbin/sshd -i      <<< Why the sshd process inherits 
only some EVs from its parent process?
     26852 /usr/local/sbin/sshd -i
       26853 /gridware/n1ge6u6/utilbin/sol-sparc64/qrsh_starter 
/gridware/n1ge6u6/default/sp
         26854 ksh -c sleep 120; echo BATCH;ulimit -t
           26855 sleep 120

The parent sge_shepherd process sets some environment variables 
dynamically. Onne of them is called "ENVIRONMENT".
Using the ENVIRONMENT variable attribute [ either interactive or batch], 
users' computational resources can be set differently.

Since sshd didn't inherit the ENVIRONMENT variable, the variable didn't 
get passed to its child process, qrsh_starter as shown above. So 
resources doesn't get set properly.

Thanks,
