If you run with 'ssh -vv' (i.e. less than three 'v' options) then you
won't see the 'Ignored' lines and will just see the 'Sending' lines.

This only applies to environment variables that are explicitly passed.
Some are implicitly passed ($TERM) and others are implicitly set by
forwarding and authentication ($DISPLAY, $SSH_AUTH_SOCK, $KRB5CCNAME).

The ones that are implicitly set are done by the server, so there are
no easy ways for the client to see what the server is setting them to.
If you run a server in debug mode ('sshd -ddd') then you'll see
everything the server sets.
