Bug ID: 3477 Summary: Support environment variable or %u token for User Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: v9.0p1 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 Component: ssh Assignee: unassigned-b...@mindrot.org Reporter: b...@bencreasy.com While I realize most of the ~/.ssh/config files are bespoke, I'm trying to write a shared one for my team. Right now I'm just leaving the User field out which means that instead of people typing ssh <server> they type ssh <user>@<server> - I'd like to save them some keystrokes. Per https://man.openbsd.org/man5/ssh_config.5#TOKENS and Env Variables section ssh_config doesn't seem to support using a variable of any type here. However, I discovered that my Windows work computer using Git Bash for Windows (https://gitforwindows.org/), ${USERNAME} was expanding to my username properly for the User field. It says that it's running OpenSSH_8.5p1. On my Macbook Pro running OpenSSH_9.0p1 it didn't work - ${USER} ($USERNAME is a Windows thing) ssh <host> just gives me: ${USER}@<censored> Permission denied (publickey). On my Macbook, I cloned down the repo from https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable and ran `git checkout V_8_5_P1` and then compiled from source. Still didn't expand the variable. In looking at old bug/enhancement reports, I did notice https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3140 which seemed to be just about paths. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ openssh-bugs mailing list openssh-bugs@mindrot.org https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-bugs
