Hi, when I enter a displayless machine I want to start TMux immediately: $ ssh -t otherhost tmux -u Yet, this bypasses /etc/profile before the TMux server is started. As soon as TMux opens its first pane, a shell is opened and /etc/profile comes into respect. But while TMux is setting up its mode-keys option, it won't detect the EDITOR=vi in the profile. Therefore I added the EDITOR environment variable to /etc/login.conf. default:\ :setenv=[...],EDITOR=vi:\ :[...]: This works as long as I only use the "default" section. However, when I change the login class in vipw to "german" the effect disappears. german|German Users Accounts:\ :charset=UTF-8:\ :lang=de_DE.UTF-8:\ :setenv=LC_COLLATE=C:\ :tc=default: The tc directive imports all directives from "default" but then, "setenv" is overwritten. I thorougly examined this behaviour by setting further environment variables and by not calling TMux but a simple variable dump (see below). Is there a way to merge the setenv directives? Is there any better solution to my problem? On a Linux machine I solved it by calling pam_env in /etc/pam.d/sshd <http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/315647#316921>, but I can find no pam_env in FreeBSD. Thanks in advance.
