I fiddled around with this issue as well: tried different ways to set up parameters when using ssh (.ssh/environment-file, ...), tried to load my configuration at different places, but to no avail.

My current working solution now looks like this:

• As before, there is a shell script (named ros_conf.sh) in my ros-workspace (~/ros_workspace) that exports the ROS-variables of interest: ROS_IP, ROS_MASTER, ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, ...

• In ~/.bashrc, the last two lines execute the ROS specific scripts (so interactive shells are fully usable with ROS):

  source /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.bash source ~/ros_workspace/ros_conf.sh

• The file opt/ros/fuerte/env.sh executes both scripts:

  !/bin/sh

  if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then /bin/echo "Entering environment at /opt/ros/fuerte" . /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.sh . /home/megi-labor/ros_workspace/ros_conf.sh $SHELL /bin/echo "Exiting build environment at /opt/ros/fuerte" else . /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.sh . /home/megi-labor/ros_workspace/ros_conf.sh exec "$@" fi

Voila! Looks to be working until now :-)
