It adds the HostNameExpand/-h (config filecommand line) option to disable the host name expansion. I'll build the binaries, but that will take some time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is that backwards compatible at all? I havent looked at the source, but shouldnt ssh just look for %h and leave anything else alone?

It might be I didn't correctly understand your request - the patch mimicks the previous behaviour for the HostName option only. All other substitutions (ControlPath etc.) are not changed. Unless you have a tricky setup, you should be able to log in with '-h' and the config file above, from a 11.4 box while older versions won't crash on an unknown option. Neither do I want to change the default behaviour to one from a year old version, nor to include any additional patches that are not accepted upstreams. We can discuss what exactly the newly introduced option does (and update the patch accordingly), though. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
