Description Dougal Graham 2020-06-17 05:40:34 UTC 
When using sshexec with the sshconfig option, if your ssh config uses a default identityfile, eg:


  Host *
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa


Then sshexec will override any explicit host you have set with "null".

This bug is most likely caused by line 280 of src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/ssh/SSHBase.java in the loadSshConfig method.
