The problem is that you need login processing (e.g. /etc/profile,
~/.profile) to be performed at the other end. This can be accomplished by
calling bash -login, for example, if a plain shell session is what you
want. For X I prefer to have a "receiver" script I call via ssh which
sets the environment/path and then does whatever I actually wanted done.
