#52745 closed enhancement (fixed)

openssh ssh_config should send locale variable

Reported by: fweep (Jim Stewart) Owned by: Ionic (Mihai Moldovan)

Port: openssh

Description

The default /opt/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config is empty (save for commented out options). It should include better default options. At a bare minimum, it should include the following: 

Host *
    SendEnv LANG LC_*

This is a sensible default. It is the default on the OSX standard /etc/ssh/ssh_config, and is also the default in any normal Unix distribution. Without this present, locale information is lost when connecting to a server. It's even lost when doing "ssh localhost". For a history of how I diagnosed this, see ​http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/259217/sshd-not-setting-locale/259224.

There is no default configuration. :)

We only ship example files that users are supposed to copy and modify to their needs.
