[Bug 47958] Re: ssh-agent clobbers LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other environment variables

[axeoth]

This bug is still there in the latest (X)ubuntu 12.04 (development)
daily ISO.

Can someone change in /etc/X11/Xsession.options the line:

use-ssh-agent

to

no-use-ssh-agent

?

This is the workaround referenced above and it seems to work well.

Title:
  ssh-agent clobbers LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other environment variables

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Since /usr/bin/ssh-agent is setgid ssh, it unsets LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
  This made it impossible to set this variable in my dotfiles
  (.gnomerc).

  My solution was to write a wrapper script that prefixes the command with /usr/bin/env VAR=val ... for each variable that gets unset:
