[Bug 1487361] Re: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas
It makes a difference for me, but CanonicalizeHostname has to be in the right part of the file (not inside an inapplicable Host block; note that indentation doesn't actually matter). Perhaps I could see your whole .ssh/config? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1487361 Title: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1487361/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1487361] Re: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas
Ah, thanks! I indeed had it after a Host block with indentation / paragraph, so I was misled in thinking of them as actual paragraphs. Putting CanonicalizeHostname at the top of the file indeed works. So it seems this was a deliberate change, or just accidentally happened to work before. So I guess we can close this.

[Bug 1487361] Re: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas
** Description changed: My ~/.ssh/config has Host *.canonical.com - User pitti + User pitti and some convenience aliases as the actual host names change from time to time: Host cdimage - HostName nusakan.canonical.com + HostName nusakan.canonical.com Host langpack - HostName macquarie.canonical.com + HostName macquarie.canonical.com For years, until the previous Wily version 6.7 this was working as expected.

[Bug 1487361] Re: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas
CanonicalizeHostname yes does not make any difference. Also, that part actually seems to work fine (ssh langpack correctly resolves to macquarie.canonical.com), it's the User from the previous Host * match which isn't applied. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1487361 Title: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1487361/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Andy pointed out Match; I haven't heard of/used it before, but doing Match Host *.canonical.com User pitti gives exactly the same behaviour. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1487361 Title: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1487361/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1487361] Re: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas
I think this was deliberate upstream, probably this: - ssh(1): Tweak config re-parsing with host canonicalisation - make the second pass through the config files always run when host name canonicalisation is enabled (and not whenever the host name changes) In fact this was not documented to work before; even in Debian stable the documentation for Host says The host is the hostname argument given on the command line (i.e. the name is not converted to a canonicalized host name before matching). Try CanonicalizeHostname yes, which is documented to control this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1487361 Title: 6.9 stopped respecting User in previous stanzas To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1487361/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
