not using the ssh config file

[linbynd]

The program looks great and been trying it out. But seems to be that it does not use the current .ssh/config file for host checking.

Mpssh itself does not use these ssh config files, it merely execs ssh, and ssh should use them. What exactly are you seeing?

[linbynd]

I have a ssh config file for servers and I use different username for hosts which are defined in the config. when I put just the alias name its picking up from the config file however it does not pick the user from the config file. I have to explicitly define the user it in .mpssh/hosts.

Ok, this might be because mpssh always supplies a username, even if you don't supply one it uses the current user username.

yes, just stumbled over this as well... as it's roughly now having it's 4th birthday.

any way to fix this? this makes it unusable for my use case, and it looks like a great tool otherwise!

I wouldn't count on it....
