sshd and AcceptEnv setting

Hello,
On Linux the /etc/ssh/sshd_config has the "AcceptEnv" parameter which allows to "push" environment setting to a ssh session. For example, when I set in sshd_conf
Code:
AcceptEnv BLAH

I can then ssh to the server using:

Code:
user@client~$ export BLAH=hello
user@client~$ ssh server -o SendEnv=BLA

H

and the result is
Code:
user@server~$ echo $BLAH
hello

My question is how can I do this on Solaris. The sshd_config does not accept this parameter.

I found out that on Solaris there is the "PermitUserEnvironment yes" setting which allows to export variables that are on the server in the ~/.ssh/environment file.

This does not solve my problem because I want the client to be able to set the env variable before the connection.

Thanks,

R.F.
