thanks for your response.


You might like to think about removing the "search" configuration. As far as I can see it's an evolutionary throwback to the move from a flay hosts file (for the whole internet) to DNS, and it's really not very useful for a modern machine.

Hmm - I rather like the ability to type

"ssh strange"

instead of
"ssh strange.home.langhorst.com "


Is there some way support that shorthand other than via a search line
in /etc/resolv.conf?  Or do I misunderstand what you mean by "search"?

In .ssh/config

Host strange
   Hostname strange.home.langhorst.com

That's much more limited than the DNS search method, but it doesn't have the unwanted side-effects.

Cheers,

Simon.
