[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#689585: ssh: please don't complete hosts found after Hostname in .ssh/config

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.0-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

my ssh-config contains something like:

	Host login.sd
	Hostname login.some.domain
	ProxyCommand none

	Host somehost.sd
	Hostname somehost.some.domain

	Host *.sd
	ProxyCommand ssh login.sd nc -w 1 %h %p

So now if I type

	$ ssh someho<tab>

I'd like to only getting somehost.sd suggested, because I cannot connect
to somehost.some.domain directly anyhow.

So I suggest to do

-        local hosts=$( sed -ne 's/^[ \t]*[Hh][Oo][Ss][Tt]\([Nn][Aa][Mm][Ee]\)\{0,1\}['"$'\t '"']\{1,\}\([^#*?]*\)\(#.*\)\{0,1\}$/\2/p' "${config[@]}" )
+        local hosts=$( sed -ne 's/^[ \t]*[Hh][Oo][Ss][Tt]['"$'\t '"']\{1,\}\([^#*?]*\)\(#.*\)\{0,1\}$/\1/p' "${config[@]}" )

in /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion.

Obviously this changes the result for people that want the names after
Hostname completed. For those you can just add an otherwise empty Host
section.

Best regards
Uwe
