Bug ID: 2731
Summary: .ssh/config: Host * overrides included files
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 7.5p1
Hardware: amd64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Hi,
When a file is included, and that .ssh/config contains a "Host *"
section, properties (like User) that should be overriden in included
files are not.
Reproduction steps:
- Create the following .ssh/config:
Host a
Hostname a.b.c
User userA
Host *
User userB
- `ssh a' should log in to [email protected], `ssh b.c.d' should log in to
[email protected]'
- Move the `a' host into an included file to have the following
.ssh/config:
Host *
User userB
Include ~/.ssh/a_host
- `ssh a' will try to log in to [email protected] instead of [email protected].
Expected result:
`ssh a' should log in to [email protected] anyway since there is an User
line in its Host definition and that that works when not included.
I have read online that the "Host *" should be at the end of the file,
which works fine in the first example, however in the example with the
Include, doing that "deletes" the included Hosts; having Include then
User would make `ssh a' not work (unresolved hostname), as if there was
no entry.
