Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to pass a parameter from a local
shell to a remote shell when you carry out an interactive ssh login.
The reason I ask is if you su to root on your local host a `who am i`
still shows your original username and not root.
When you ssh to a remote host as root however a `who am i` will show
root and not the original user name.
What I would like to do is assign a parameter say USER-LOCAL. When root
then ssh's to a remote server the variable USER-LOCAL is carried from
the local shell to the remote shell. This would then enable me to track
who owned each root session on the remote box.
Thanks in advance,
Dom
