Use LC_* environment variables #49

Closed bpiwowar closed 7 years ago

This allows to go through stricter SSH server policies that only allow LC_* variables through

While I appreciate the convenience of having things work out of the box, it doesn’t seem nice to pollute the LC_* namespace to “tunnel” information.

I am thinking that a user who need the RMATE variables and cannot loosen the “security policy” could use LC_FORWARD_* and then for any LC_FORWARD_«foo» variable, their .profile would set «foo» to its value, so basically a general variable tunneling system.

Another solution could maybe be to support variables in the config file, so a user could put $LC_RMATE_PORT or somesuch for the port number, but it seems maybe too complex, though I’d really prefer not to hardcode LC_* variable in rmate.

Yes, I should have thought of this solution which is much simpler.
