Public bug reported:
When explicitly setting an identity, either via the -i commandline
parameter or IdentityFile in the ssh config, these files are used only
after any other identity files found in ~/.ssh/ have failed pubkey
authentication.
When the remote host limits the number of pubkey authentication failures
before disconnecting, this can lead to a situation where the explicit
identity file is not even used when connecting to that host.
