    Dear OpenSSH developers,

    I just want to know how I can enable the functionality of forwarding the
    environment varibles through SSH. I've searched google but I did not
    really find any howto on this topic.

    There was also a message sent to another mailing list:
    http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openssh-unix-dev&m=102590367411189&w=2
    which mentioned about ForwardEnv and EnvApproved, but I couldn't find
    their entries on ssh_config(5) & sshd_config(5) files.

    What I want to do is for machine b to have an access to an environment
    variable (PROJECT_ID) that I've set on machine a. Is this possible? This
    topic has already been discussed on a number of sites that I've visited
    but I just couldn't see a real example of how this can be done.

    Thanks,
    Gerson
