Not sure if it matters or not.
Apparently not - if you try the same with 'Compression no' and 'compression no', it works as expected; it you use incorrect option, you get the proper error message. For whatever reason it recognises [Cc]ompression option, but not the value of the option: $ ssh -F /dev/null -o "Compression no" localhost Password for xci@ymir:$ $ ssh -F /dev/null -o "compression no" localhost Password for xci@ymir:$ $ ssh -F /dev/null -o "compression yes" localhost command-line line 0: unsupported option "yes". $ ssh -F /dev/null -o "Compression yes" localhost command-line line 0: unsupported option "yes". $ ssh -F /dev/null -o "Compressionx yes" localhost command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: compressionx $ ssh -F /dev/null -o "Compression x" localhost command-line line 0: unsupported option "x". # same as when 'yes' is used. Same happens if the option is specified in .ssh/config file, instead on the command line. > > Edgar > > I didn't check all the options but several others seem to be working OK. > > > > Regards, > > Geoff -- ----
