I added a script 

   0000000-ssh-session-env.sh

to /etc/profile.d/ to fetch the SYSTEM environment and USER environment
from the registry.
Some Variables like PATH are preserved.

The login performance via ssh is degraded in comparison without this script. 

If you are interested I can email it to you.

Or is it possible to post it here (Size 4897 Bytes) ?
