[Bug 828585] Re: ssh client prioritises ssh-agent keys over -i

[Chris Jones]

While I do think the -i option might be useful to respect in this
situation, a sufficiently strict .ssh/config that uses "IdentitiesOnly"
appears to be a viable workaround here

Title:
  ssh client prioritises ssh-agent keys over -i

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have many ssh keys loaded into my ssh agent. If I specify a specific key on the command line with ssh -i, the ssh client still offers all of my agent keys before trying the one I specified.
  This has the unfortunate consequences of:
   * hitting login attempt limits on (many?) ssh daemons
   * slowing down the login process
