IMO, 'login = username' doesn't make much sense and we'll know when users complain that something broke.

Hi Maximilian, thanks for your interest in dput.

A single asterisk * will cause the scp and rsync uploaders to not use supply a login name when calling to ssh, scp, and rsync.

# Bcc: control tags 505451 + wontfix thanks Hi Maximilian, On 08/11/12 15:52 +0100, Maximilian Gaß said ... Using the scp method, dput explicitly sets the username when transferring (scp file [EMAIL PROTECTED]). This overrules any username the user might have configured especially for this host in his ..ssh/config. It's also unnecessary because SSH uses the current username automatically. if you set 'login' to '*' in dput.cf, you would be able to workaround this annoyance. Hence marking this wontfix (perhaps, we should change login = username to login = * in the default configuration. Pretty much all stanzas set a login).
