           Summary: Incomplete application of HostKeyAlias in ssh
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 4.0p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: cdmclain at ll.mit.edu


When HostKeyAlias is specified, it is not used for the hostname in the
configuration file or for the default login prompt. This behavior is especially
problematic when local port forwarding of an SSH connection is being done. In
that case, "localhost" must be used as the hostname so it is impossible to
distinguish one host from another.
