ssh - config setup file conflict??

[bruce]

Testing out setting up ssh - using priv/pub keys

The test config file

cat /home/foo/.ssh/config
HostName 192.168.5.18
User foo
IdentityFile /home/foo/id_rsa_foo

i can ssh foo@192.168.5.18 with no issue, works as it should

however, any other ssh is also intercepted by the config file..
ie
 ssh abc@123.456 comes back with a
 "ssh: connect to host 192.168.5.18 port 50122: Connection refused"

but if i do a ssh -i id_rsa_foo abc@123.456 the connection is accepted/connects

it appears the config file is somehow screwing things up...

so how can the config be setup to only be used for the specified
"hostname" and to not be used if the targeted domain isn't in the
config file...

thanks

you simply need to make default settings and get rid of "HostName"
this below works for a lot of target-machines to specifiy different
ports, compression configs and so on

Host                 *
IdentityFile         ~/.ssh/id_dsa

Host                 192.168.5.18
User                 foo
IdentityFile         /home/foo/id_rsa_foo

^^^^^^^^

I assume you want "Host" instead of "HostName".
