ssh - export a variable

[Lakshmipathi]

---

I have client1 and client2 both are linux machines.
From client1:

client1$ssh root@client2 "env"

it displays list of ssh variables from client2.

Things I did on client2:
=================
I want to add new variable to client2 . So I edited sshd_config to
PermitUserEnvironment yes

and created a file environment under ssh with following entry
Hi=Hello

then restart sshd
/etc/init.d/sshd

---------
Now from client1 trying the same command
client1$ssh root@client2 "env"

didn't provide the new variable "Hi".

and created a file environment under ssh with following entry
Hi=Hello

Where did you create this entry? In roots profile?

Thanks, few minutes back I fixed this issue. You are correct DTOX, its problem with location environment file , It should be under ~/.ssh not under /etc/ssh.
So after moving environment file from /etc/ssh to ~/.ssh it started working
