Priority: P5
Bug ID: 2031
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: ssh config parser ignores host-specific overrides
after wildcard.
Severity: minor
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: amd64
Status: NEW
Version: 5.9p1
Component: ssh
Product: Portable OpenSSH
My (simplified) .ssh/config file contains:
------
Host *
[Default opts]
ForwardX11 yes
Host galaxy
User root
ForwardX11 no
------
If I then run "ssh -v galaxy", it correctly shows that it is picking up
the "root" option, but it is failing to pick up the host-specific
override to turn off ForwardX11.
(What I have is a system-wide default to no X11 Forward, a personal
default for X11 forwarding, and a single host which shouldn't do X11
forwarding)
A very careful reading of the man page suggests that this may not,
strictly-speaking, be a bug, but I don't think it's doing what the
user intends either. In my view, later options should override earlier
options, rather than being ignored.
P.S. Thanks for your time, and a really useful program.
