[Bug 1659719] Re: ssh can't call a binary from a snap without the full path

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

It's easy enough to unconditionally add /snap/bin to path, see attached,
but I can't really see a clean way to only have it present in the $PATH
when snapd is installed (without code changes to pam_env, anyway).

Bug description:
  ssh can't call a binary from a snap, it will only work using the full
  path.

  Let's say I have the hello snap installed in 192.168.122.24. Then:

  elopio at ubuntu-xenial:~/mosh$ ssh 192.168.122.24 hello
  elopio at 192.168.122.24's password:
  bash: hello: command not found
  elopio at ubuntu-xenial:~/mosh$ ssh 192.168.122.24 /snap/bin/hello
  elopio at 192.168.122.24's password:
  Hello, world!
