Hello all,

We updated the OS from SLE 10 SP2 to SLE 10 SP4 in order to utilize chroot in SFTP.  
[http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7009112](http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7009112)

However, the command “ssh env” is missing a lot of environment variables AFTER the update.  
(The command is essential in our controlled environment)

When we were on SP2,  
root@fitl05v140:/root \> rpm -qa | grep ssh  
openssh-4.2p1-18.36

When we are now on SP4,  
root@fitl05v140:/root \> rpm -qa | grep ssh  
openssh-5.1p1-41.8.20

I guess this is related to this particular openssh package. Does anyone have any experiences on it ?

Thanks.

Regards,  
Chi Wo

Have you looked at, and compared, the AcceptEnv settings within  
/etc/ssh/sshd\_config to see how/if they have changed? From my openSUSE  
laptop I have these defaults:

## Code:

## AcceptEnv LANG LC\_CTYPE LC\_NUMERIC LC\_TIME LC\_COLLATE LC\_MONETARY LC\_MESSAGES AcceptEnv LC\_PAPER LC\_NAME LC\_ADDRESS LC\_TELEPHONE LC\_MEASUREMENT AcceptEnv LC\_IDENTIFICATION LC\_ALL

Also in /etc/ssh/ssh\_config compare the SendEnv parameters.

–  
Good luck.

How did you update the OS? From your post I’m thinking you went from  
SLE(S)10 SP2 directly to SLE(S)10 SP4 and not via SLE(S)10 SP3.
