29. Does in.tccd source .profile on a remote system?

Question

It doesn't look like in.tccd sources the .profile of the tccd user. Is this the case?

Answer

Yes. Since in.tccd is not the child of a login shell, environment variables set in a .profile or .login file are not passed to in.tccd.

You can invoke in.tccd from within a shell script wrapper if you need this kind of processing. However, if you invoke in.tccd from a wrapper, you must ensure that nothing in the shell script touches the standard input. This is because inetd passes the client connection to in.tccd on the standard input.
