           Summary: Environment size over ~3K char prevents ssh logins
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org

I'm using OpenSSH 3.4p1 on both ends of a Solaris 2.8, Mandrake 8.0 connection.
I've used OpenSSH in this situation since about 2.5.  When I upgraded to
2.9.9p2 I found that OpenSSH itself was creating a bit more stuff in the
environment than previous versions.  This prevented me from logging in using
ssh.  I trimmed the stuff I added to the environment in my ~/.cshrc file
so that 'printenv | wc' would report less than about 3,000 characters.
After that, I could login again with ssh.  I just added some stuff to my
environment and ran into the bug again.  This problem persists in OpenSSH
version 3.4p1.  Feel free to contact me, if you need more info.

Thanks....
