Comment 0 for bug 1487361

My ~/.ssh/config has

Host *.canonical.com
    User pitti

and some convenience aliases as the actual host names change from time to time:

Host cdimage
    HostName nusakan.canonical.com

Host langpack
    HostName macquarie.canonical.com

For years, until the previous Wily version 6.7 this was working as expected. But since today with 6.9 trying to ssh to e. g. langpack stopped taking the "User pitti" into account:

$ ssh -v cdimage
[...]
debug1: Authenticating to nusakan.canonical.com:22 as 'martin'
[...]
Permission denied (publickey).

"martin" is my local user name at my laptop, i. e. the default when "User" isn't set.
