Public bug reported:
I noticed in /etc/bash_completion that there was a useful function to
allow completion to work by parsing hostnames in the known_hosts file to
enable hostname completion when using the ssh command.
However, the /etc/ssh/ssh_config has the HashKnownHosts setting set to
'yes', which disables this completion from working.
Previously, I used to touch empty files with the names of machines that
I administer to allow me to tab-complete hostnames, but this no longer
appears to work on 6.06 LTS so I have modified my ssh_config to not hash
the known hosts so that I can use that function from
/etc/bash_completion.
It would be nice if the HashKnownHosts setting was set to 'no' by
default, so that this feature can work without any tweaking.
