            Bug ID: 3543
           Summary: Add a provision to force query of login ID
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.1p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: cponder at nvidia.com

I'm using a remote system that doesn't require a password to log on,
but the login-ID is issued by Axis Security and changes every 24 hours.

I'd like to have a setting in the ~/.ssh/config to force it to ask for
the ID (but not the password) when I use ssh/scp commands, as opposed
to me expressing it on the command-line with ```-l $ID``` or ```$ID@```
every time.

That way ssh & scp operations embedded into scripts wouldn't have to be
adjusted every time the ID changes. Also I tried (the longshot) of
overwriting the $USER variable, but it had no effect.

I don't see any way to do this (and have googled around quite a bit to
check), which is a little surprising since you-all had already added
just about anything else I can think of.
