先日、ssh接続する際に.ssh/configで指定していた鍵ではない秘密鍵を使って接続しようとしてたところ、公開鍵を登録していない秘密鍵を指定しても接続されてしまうという事があった。 なんだこりゃと思って-vオプションを付与して見たところ、以下のような動きをしていた。

どうやら、オプションで指定した秘密鍵で接続できなかった場合、そのまま.ssh/configに記載されている秘密鍵で接続されてしまうようだ。 (オプションで指定した鍵で接続できる場合は、そのままその鍵で接続される)

新しい鍵を登録したりする際のテスト時などにちょっと紛らわしい…。 違う鍵を使って接続する場合は、対象のホストを一時的にコメントアウトするなり、.ssh/configを一時的にリネームするといった対応をすると良さそう。
