What "configured locale"? The user may use a locale which is not the
default one at the system level. Perhaps you mean that the SSH client
should propagate the locale (more precisely, the charmap) to the
remote side, so that the SSH server can use it (in which case the
server should make this information available at the user level too,
as it can be useful to set up the LC_CTYPE environment variable).
