            Bug ID: 3246
           Summary: Include directive doesn't support variable expansion
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.4p1
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: guilhem at fripost.org

Please consider expanding environment variables (feature request from
bug 3140) in the Include directive as well.  This would allow one to
use:

    Include ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/ssh/*.conf

(As of 8.4p1 the glob resolves — as documented — to
~/.ssh/${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/ssh/*.conf.)
