Description of problem: openssh should not celebrate success on failing to connect to unknown host Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-clients-6.2p2-3.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.ssh doesnotexist Actual results: ssh: Could not resolve hostname doesnotexist: Success Expected results: I don't see any success/win on being unable to connect to non-existing host So I guess following message would be better "ssh: Could not resolve hostname doesnotexist" Additional info:
The patch for this is already accepted by upstream and will be included in the next release. However, I'll use it with the next fedora update which will happen soon. Thanks, for the report.
Workaround is to fix your resolver. You've probably got /etc/nsswitch.conf set with non-existent module.
