Hi.
I've just installed cygwin on winxp, for some wine comparative testing.
To make it easier for me, I installed ssh package and started sshd service so
I could do as much as possible from my main Linux box.
But I noticed the following difference:
- on a windows cygwin term:
$ cmd /c echo "%ProgramFiles%"
C:\Program Files
- on an ssh session:
$ cmd /c echo "%ProgramFiles%"
%ProgramFiles%
which breaks the script[1] I'm testing.
Is it a bug ?
No. 'ssh' is a secure shell so it has a minimal environment.
If not, how can I make ssh session get the same environment variables as a
"regular" (ie, not remote) cygwin terminal ?
You can add whatever variables you want and need to a script you can run
as part of the login or just after, depending on your needs.
