I'm adding the devel list....

This is an excellent point... lib/utils_cmd.c:140 creates a new empty
environment array with LC_ALL=C.

Instead we could use the current environment in:
extern char **environ;

Now I'm wondering if we should rewrite **environ with the LC_ALL
changed/added or if we can ignore it. Ton, since you added utils_cmd, do
you have any idea?


Jay, regarding your issue, can't you set options in ~nagios/.ssh/config?
(or whichever path according to the user nagios runs plugins as...)

Thanks
