~/.ssh/environment is read at login time. Just open another session after you have changed the file. If it is not working then you need to add into your sshd_config the following line: PermitUserEnvironment="yes" then restart sshd. To restart ssh you either have a ascript in /etc/init.d or you have svcs and svcadm command

You can also add your environment variables to ~/.login file. And if your default shell is bash you can add them to ~/.bashrc

I have added the entry in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /.ssh/enviroment and modifed sshd_config and restarted the ssh using svcadm .. but after login env doesn't show the LD_LIBRARY_PATH value. – laks Mar 15 '10 at 13:11
Do not forget PermitUserEnvironment="yes" in sshd_config. It is no by default. This means that it is not reading your file. – Mircea Vutcovici Mar 15 '10 at 14:44
Do you have any reason why you are not using .login or .bashrc to change the environment? – Mircea Vutcovici Mar 15 '10 at 14:47

To restart the SSH service

svcadm restart ssh

however you may need to log in again (i.e. restart your session) to reload the environment variables.

I'm using solaris 10 ...seems like there is no "service command" available ... – laks Mar 15 '10 at 12:44
Thanks andy , i have restarted using svcadm – laks Mar 15 '10 at 13:04
I believe the service command is only on RHEL – warren Mar 15 '10 at 13:22
