            Bug ID: 2221
           Summary: Explicit identity files are being used after implicit
                    files are attempted
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 6.2p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: mhall119 at gmail.com

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.
