If you do:
$ ftp 192.168.10.101
you get? A login prompt for a username ...
If you:
$ ssh 192.168.10.101
you get? Only a password prompt
This is a problem with kio_fish then, and I suspect no-one has had this
issue before. What should happen is that if the username differs, it
should terminate the connection and make a new one ... I haven't looked
at the source yet, but the author has posted here before so you might be
able to ask him about it ...
Since I normally use fish to machines where my logins are the same, it's
not an issue for me, and I have my ~/.ssh/config setup for ssh'ing into
machines where this is not the case:
eg:
Host klama
HostName compil.mandrake.org
User buchan
Compression yes
ForwardAgent no
ForwardX11 no
So instead of 'ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]', I just 'ssh klama'

Shouldn't need to, but I suspect so far most users were ssh experts ...

I think it should be fixed rather ...

I agree with you, just trying to think why there was a difference ...
I think it's time to file a bug report ...
