Hi! I'm using and administrating several Debian GNU/Linux boxes all running unstable. Yesterday I've noticed some weirdness I don't know the reason of.
When I open an xterm with a bash inside locally and then resize the xterm, the variables $COLUMNS and $LINES are automatically updated. When I log in via ssh, then those variables are _not_ automatically updated but after a xterm resize I have to call "stty size" or "resize" for the variables to get updated. However shopt checkwinsize is set. Now, the interesting part: I have one machine where it even works when logging in via ssh, but I don't see any obvious difference. The only obvious difference is that on the machines where the automatic variable setting does not work, I have stricter login restrictions (only with keys, only DSA, no root, etc.). But I somewhat doubt that this is the reason for the behaviour. When testing I have all the keys cached in ssh-agent, so there's no difference there. I'm somewhat puzzled what setting may cause this difference in behaviour. Can anybody shed light on this, please?
