How can I make my system environment variables appear when I ssh through sshd?
Thanks -

What if you use the option to set environment variables when you
install the service with cygrunsrv?
--env VAR=VALUE
You can use this option multiple times (up to 255 times according to
the --help) to set up as many environment options as you need.
I typically use it to redirect TEMP to /tmp for ssh like this
--env TMP=/tmp --env TEMP=/temp
and to set the CYGWIN environment variable
--env CYGWIN=TTY NTSEC SMBNTSEC BIMODE NTEA
These are stored in the registry and should be read every time ssh starts.
