Subject: sshd default user PATH
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 09:57:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20140814T113926-374@post.gmane.org> (raw)
I'm trying to figure out how sshd comes up with the PATH for the initial
environment. Currently I get the Windows sytem PATH (converted to POSIX)
and then /bin appended. This is no good, at least /bin should be at the
beginning of that PATH.
I've not been able to change this system-wide so far. Apparently sshd has
been built on a machine where /etc/default/login wasn't present, at least it
doesn't appear to try to read that file (or any other system file) for
setting up the initial environment. The /etc/sshrc is run if I create it,
but you can't set any environment variables from within it. I don't want to
enable user environments.
I think it would be nice if there was a system file that could set the
initial environment for sshd, maybe setting external_path_file to
/etc/ssh_environment fits in better with the default Cygwin /etc layout, though.
Regards,
Achim.
