: does work if I set it to ask. Thanks for the help.

i see ssh.1 doesn't document ask.

a good task for someone that's interested is to review pieces of code
and compare that to the corresponding man page (readconf.c/ssh.1
serverconf.c/sshd.8, etc) and make sure they are accurate and in sync,
and provide patches when they are not.

is anyone interested?
