I have several environment variables defined in the Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables list on my Windows XP box. If I run a Cygwin bash login shell locally on this machine, I can find all those environment variables in the output of the env command. However, if I ssh to the same machine, several of those environment variables are missing from my environment.
For example, PATH is in both environments and is the same except for the extra :/bin component in the ssh version, and "CYGWIN=ntsec" is in both. However, PYTHONPATH is in the local environment but not in the ssh environment. Why are some but not all the environment variables defined in the System dialog inherited by ssh logins?
