Hello,

I have the following unwanted situation:

  host1> echo $PATH -> gives a whole list, including
/home/user1/bin

  host1> ssh host1 echo '$PATH' -> gives /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

I have a program userapp in /home/user1/bin, which gets executed
perfectly

  host1> userapp -> ok

The problem is when I do

  host1> ssh host1 userapp -> sh: line 1: userapp: command not
found

I found out that this is an option, compiled in the sshd (according to
my sshd_config file). Is there a way to overwrite the
$PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin without having to install a sshd
version without this built-in feature ? Thanks in advance, Tom
