teleporting and $SHELL

[mpeterson]

When ssh teleporting the $SHELL variable still points to the shell configured for the user, instead of the zsh shell teleportation triggered.

To fix this I added a export SHELL=$_z4h_exe in my .zshrc. But I feel this should be the default behaviour?

This is working as intended. From man login:

The value for $HOME, $SHELL, $PATH, $LOGNAME, and $MAIL are set according to the appropriate fields in the password entry.

z4h attempts to not change that. Is this a problem for your setup? What are you trying to do?

@romkatv found this issue in two cases:

1. tmux in the remote host would then open the default shell for the user (bash in the problematic case). By just adding SHELL=$_z4h_exe tmux ... I fix this issue.
2. when doing sudo -Es on the remote host. (Side question, is there a recommended workaround for teleportation to work when sudoers has env_reset? )

I hope this clarifies the usage
