Bug#672993: openssh-server: sshd should AcceptEnv EDITOR



Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:5.9p1-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

When several fellow hackers are maintaining a server, but have
different tastes when it comes to editing tools, they may start
unending flame wars and even come to blows.

To bring peace in such a work environment, I suggest applying one
minor yet essential change in /etc/ssh/sshd_config from:
  AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
to
  AcceptEnv LANG LC_* EDITOR

What do you think?

Regards,
Sylvain
