           Summary: ssh is still looking at default config file when it is
                    about EnableSSHKeysign
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.7p1
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org

ssh protocol 2 / hostbased authentication 
 
As you know in order for ssh to work with hostbased authentication 
the flag EnableSSHKeysign must be set to "yes" in ssh_config file 
 
That worked. 
 
But if an alternate config file is specified in ssh command line as: 
 
# /openssh/bin/ssh -F /openssh/etc/ssh_config_2 -v [hostname]  
 
does not work 
 
also this flag (EnableSSHKeysign) is not taken as an -o argument in command line: 
 
# /openssh/bin/ssh -F /openssh/etc/ssh_config_2 -o EnableSSHKeysign=yes -v [hostname] 
 
does not work 
 
I belive ssh is looking at the default config file when it is about this particular flag since there is 
a message when using -v option with ssh saing: 
 
"ssh-keysign not enabled in /openssh/etc/ssh_config"  ...and this is the default config file 
 
As I said I used -F /openssh/etc/ssh_config_2 and I'm absolutely sure this alternate file is 
used since other options such as port number are corectly taken from alternate config file. This 
is all about EnableSSHKeysign flag only. 
 
We need this in a Linux based diskless cluster
