            Bug ID: 2860
           Summary: "-lc" should be used for non-interactive session
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.7p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh

In interactive sessions, the shell would be started as "login shell",
/etc/profile (or zprofile in the case of zsh) would be sourced.

However, when user instructs ssh to execute a command with a
non-interactive session, because the shell is started without -l / --
login, the profile files would not be sourced, which leads to
inconsistency among the two types of sessions (typically missing
expected environment variables in the non-interactive session).

Is there any reason that the shell in a non-interactive session should
not be started as "login shell"?
