Package: openssh-client Version: 1:6.5p1-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Hi Colin, Since the 6.5p1 update, uppercase "Host" specifications in .ssh/config "don't work" anymore: I had the following in my .ssh/config that allowed me to correctly connect with 6.4p1: Host Icterus HostName odyx.homelinux.org With 6.5p1, this fails as follows: $ ssh -vvvv Icterus OpenSSH_6.5, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/didier/.ssh/config debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for * ssh: Could not resolve hostname icterus: Name or service not known While it worked with 6.4p1-2: $ ssh -vvvv Icterus OpenSSH_6.4, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/didier/.ssh/config debug1: /home/didier/.ssh/config line 1: Applying options for Icterus debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for * debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 debug1: Connecting to odyx.homelinux.org That's IMHO a regression, hence the "important" severity.
