- myself248 6y agoOut of curiosity, are there reasons that that behavior shouldn't be the default?
- boring_twenties 6y agoI'm not sure it makes much sense unless you also override the default IdentifyFile.
- boring_twenties 6y agoArgh, IdentityFile. I make the same damn mistake in my actual config file, too.
- soraminazuki 6y agoI can think of three reasons: 1. It would stop SSH agent forwarding from working if the remote has it enabled. 2. It would stop alternative SSH agent implementations from working. 3. It would only make sense if you actually have multiple identities.
