Hello all,

I'm using openssh-2.9.9p2 and have a question about the ssh config 
files. According to the manpages the order of preference is as follows:
1) command line options
2) options set user config file: in $HOME/.ssh/config
3) options set in system wide ssh config file

However, the ssh code uses a different order:
1) command line options
2) system wide config
3) user config file

Although you can give valid arguments for both mechanism, I would like 
to know what is the 'official' order, i.e. what is going to be changed: 
the manpage or the code?

The first mechanism (user config before system wide config) allows you 
to override system wide configs. However this can be a disadvantage as 
well... Some goes for the second mechanism.

Thanks in advance,

John
