check_ssh plugin invoked with incorrect parameters

[Simon Murray]

The configuration file /etc/nagios-plugins/config/ssh.cfg used by Icinga, which I can only assume is a copy of /usr/share/nagios-plugins/templates-basic/ssh.cfg as it hads no dpkg entry is trying to execute 'check_ssh $host $arg1'. The parameters have either changed or the behaviour of the plugin (if it ever worked out the box!) as $arg1 resolves to undef (or '' on the command line) resulting in an empty argv entry which check_ssh takes offense to

I should clarify that check_ssh does not support any positional paramters after the hostname according to --help, so I think it's just the confiuration file out of whack with the binary

This is a duplicate of #1244713, thanks for checking there is no open bug report already about the issue.
