Bug ID: 475638
Summary: using include in ssh config doesn't traverse all
includes, only the first
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: kio-extras
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: SFTP
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In order to make my `~/.ssh/` cleaner, I looked for ways to use multiple files
in different folders together. I found Include and then set it all up in a
structured way. When I tested the setup in the terminal to ssh into whatever
host from any included config file, I'm able to connect no issue. When I then
tried to move some files from one ssh host to another in dolphin, using
sftp://, I only got connection to one, the other showed an `Authentication
failed` error.
These two targets are in different files, both included from `~/.ssh/config`.
After some testing, I found out, that only the first Include actually gets
parsed, not any other include in the same file, as when I changed the order of
includes, suddenly the one that initially worked, didn't anymore, while the
other now worked like nothing happened.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set up the ssh config like so, with your own testing data, having the same
config for both a and b, only with different names, to make it as simple as
possible:
~/.ssh/config:
# start
Include ~/.ssh/a/config
Include ~/.ssh/b/config
# end
~/.ssh/a/config
# start
Host ahost
HostName 192.168.0.48
User "root"
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/a/akey
# end
~/.ssh/b/config
# start
Host bhost
HostName 192.168.0.48
User "root"
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/b/bkey
# end
2. validate both `ssh ahost` and `ssh bhost` work as expected
3. try connection to `sftp://ahost` and `sftp://bhost`
4. reverse the order of includes in `~/.ssh/config`
5. try step 3 again
OBSERVED RESULT
Only the host from the file included first will connect, the other will error
with the following message:
`Failed to resolve hostname bhost (Name or service not known)` (this is from
the initial include order)
EXPECTED RESULT
Both hosts connect without any issue, similar to how the both work using `ssh
host`.
