Yeah, it's unfortunately quite difficult to implement address matching in ~/.ssh/config because of the interplay of Host matching, Hostname directives, hostname canonicalisation*, proxy commands, hosts having multiple addresses, IPv4/IPv6 and when the addresses are actually resolved and available to the parser. I've not figured out a clean way to do it that isn't also complex and probably fragile to implement. -d * that was my contribution to the problem :/ _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
