OK, after digging a little bit, it turns out that I didn't have a default
identity file set in my ssh config.
After rectifying that issue, I thought things were fixed, but actually,
they are still broken!
[sshexec] Loading SSH configuration file /Users/dougal/.ssh/config
[sshexec] Using SSH key file ~/.ssh/id_rsa for host null
[sshexec] Caught exception: host must not be null.
So I looked at the code again, and it seems that after loading the SSH
config file, it overrides the current host with the host from the SSH
config. So, if you just specify a default identity file in your config,
then the host gets blown away:
host = config.getHostname();
Assuming I am interpreting this correctly...
