Package: openssh-server Version: 1:5.1p1-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Various terminal software such as urxvt and iTerm.app set the COLORFGBG environment variable. This variable allows software such as Vim to detect the terminal colours and display itself appropriately. For example, Vim does :set background=light or :set background=dark depending on whether the terminal has a light or a dark background respectively.
This is a very convenient feature and it would be great for sshd to pass this environment variable through by default. This would save me the effort of editing sshd_config on every machine I use in order for COLORFGBG to propagate when I ssh there. The necessary line to change in sshd_config is: AcceptEnv COLORFGBG Thanks. --- James -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages openssh-server depends on: ii adduser 3.108 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii dpkg 1.14.20 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.0-3 common error description library ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-3 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpam-modules 1.0.1-2 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 1.0.1-2 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 1.0.1-2 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libselinux1 2.0.65-2 SELinux shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-13 SSL shared libraries ii libwrap0 7.6.q-15 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.2-19 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii openssh-blacklist 0.4.1 list of default blacklisted OpenSS ii openssh-client 1:5.1p1-2 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages openssh-server recommends: ii openssh-blacklist-extra 0.4.1 list of non-default blacklisted Op ii xauth 1:1.0.3-2 X authentication utility Versions of packages openssh-server suggests: pn molly-guard <none> (no description available) pn rssh <none> (no description available) pn ssh-askpass <none> (no description available) -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
