openssh bugs - Aug 2005 - [Bug 1075] Host values in config are case sensitive

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1075

           Summary: Host values in config are case sensitive
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8.1p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: kwerle at pobox.com


OK, ssh_config SAYS: "The host is the hostname argument given on the
command line (i.e., the name is
not converted to a canonicalized host name before matching)."

But, really, I'd like to see case insensitivity.

MYHOST.somedomain.com is certainly the same as myhost.somedomain.com

This on OSX 10.3
rgmac:/Users/kwerle% ssh -V       
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005

yes, we know. Unfortunately there are lots of working configs that would break
if we started changing little things like this, so i think it is best to leave
it alone for now.

Don't worry, if we ever get around to thowing away the current client
configuration format, this would be high on the list.
