This is an interesting point, and one I should have noticed as I used to use
host aliasing in .ssh/config frequently. I'm not sure how best to work
around this other than to add an option to .csshrc to ignore hosts that fail
the check. Perhaps we could do something like "#aliasedhost" but that seems
like a pretty bad kludge. I'll bring it up with the upstream. In the
meaintime, any other suggestions about how you'd like to see it work?
Thanks for the bug report,
tony
