I have the following in /etc/profile ... set -a source /etc/environment set +a ... because ssh uses /etc/environment and won't accept the export there. Other that the +a -a I can only thing of the following ugly hack TEMP=`mktemp /tmp/souXXXXXX` grep -v '^#' /etc/environment| (while read i; do echo "export " "$i">>$TEMP; done) source $TEMP rm -f $TEMP which slows down any new shell. Grmmbl. Better ideas? Is this reported to the upstream maintainers?
