"Host" is a general term used for an Internet-connected system, whether client or server; creating a false distinction in the documentation between "client" and "host" would lead to confusion later, particularly when somebody goes on to read documentation on other parts of the Internet. The host in question is remote by definition because you need to ssh to it, rather than it being the local machine. This terminology is consistent throughout OpenSSH's documentation and elsewhere.
Thus I think "remote host" is appropriate, but perhaps the documentation could use a brief preface on what "host" means, to orient the reader. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/693906 Title: The language used in the OpenSSH Server documentation page is misleading or incorrect. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
