I'm having the same problem I guess:
There are several servers that have different public keys. Now I find out that I want to log into them from the same client machine. I could go and copy all the private keys to different id_rsa files:
- id_rsa1
- id_rsa2
- id_rsa3
Now why would I need/want to differentiate the keys? I don't care what they are named. I just want to log in with whatever key fits (to use a RL analogy: I'd just try to plug in one key after the other into the lock until one opens it).
So I'd say this is more of a feature request?
