openssh bugs - May 2017 - [Bug 2720] New: Include username in "Permission denied (publickey)." message

https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2720

            Bug ID: 2720
           Summary: Include username in "Permission denied
(publickey)."
                    message
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.2p2
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org

Can SSH include the username in the following message? It was the only
reason login failed, but wasn't clear.

Currently this is the behaviour:
$ ssh -i "pass.pem" myserver123.amazonaws.com
Permission denied (publickey).

It of cause works if I do:
ssh -i "pass.pem" ubuntu at myserver123.amazonaws.com

What I would like to see is:

$ ssh -i "pass.pem" myserver123.amazonaws.com
juser at myserver123.amazonaws.com
Permission denied (publickey).

This means, we would realise that "juser" didn't have an account
on
that VM at Amazon.

Sound reasonable?

Done, thanks.  It will be in the 7.6 release.

$ ssh -i /tmp/key localhost
dtucker at localhost: Permission denied
(publickey,password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased).
