4 What about this command? I want to see if autossh is a wrapper script
5 so that it has its own environment.

16 Regardless, you should file a bug. The way it is ignoring the
17 environmental variable is definitely different from what the man page
18 says it should do.

20 The only things I can think of that gives it such behaviour is either
21
22 (i) The software itself is broken and doesn't respect the variable.
23 (ii) /usr/bin/autossh is actually a wrapper script so you need to set
24 the variables in there, instead of in your .bashrc.
25
26 For either case, the behaviour is not consistent with the man page.
