RE: SSH Setup

[Neil Fryer <nfryer () marimba com>]

Hi,

It seems that something is going on with you ~/.profile or /etc/profile,
when you log into the machine on the console, do you get the same output?
I wouldn't say that this was related to SSHD at all.
Also, if you have questions on SSHD, type them out and mail them to me and
I'll help you where I can.

Neil

Hi!

I've got a machine running sshd, and which on login displays the 
following text in the shell ( The shell is - GNU bash, version 
2.05b.0(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) :

    -bash: export: `/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02': not a valid identifier
    -bash: export: `/ur/j2ee/directory/location': not a valid identifier

    declare -x TERM="xterm"
    declare -x USER="username"

Could someone point out what is wrong with my setup ? I've tried the 
ssh-config files - and currently only thing I have there is X11 
Forwarding enabled.

Also since we are on the topic of SSH - what would be your suggestions 
for the 'correct' configuration of sshd ?

I'm on Redhat 9, with OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 
0x0090701f (output of ssh -V)

Thanks,
Prasad
