Subject: ssh: only sees foo in 'Host foo bar baz' in .ssh/config

Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:11:50 +1000

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-3
Severity: minor

It seems that "ssh ba[TAB]" will try to complete "ba" as a hostname,
using ~/.ssh/config as one source of names.  The file ~/.ssh/config is
described by the ssh_config(5) manpage, and in addition to the simple
Host pattern, e.g.

    Host foo.example.net
      Port 443

you can have multiple patterns

    Host foo.example.net bar.example.net
      Port 443

AFAICT bash-completion only "sees" the first one.  I'd like it to
complete all of them.  Bonus points will be awarded if you can work
out an intelligent way to handle globbing patterns, e.g.

    Host *.example.net *.example.com
      Port 443

I had a look at /etc/bash_completion.d/ssh, but it was written in such
an abstract way that I think I'd have to understand large parts of the
main /etc/bash_completion script in order to solve this myself.

Fixed in git commit 3fe193f81a3e.  I'll leave the bonus points for now...

Within _known_hosts_real, IFS was set to just newline (\n), whereas
`compgen -W' relies on IFS being space-tab-newline ( \t\n) to expand
hostnames which are separated by whitespace.

Thanks for reporting,
