Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openssh-client
According to the man page multiple hosts in the hosts section should be given as comma separated list, since the host section expects a pattern or pattern list and <cite>A pattern-list is a comma-separated list of patterns</cite>.
Still when I put two hosts as comma separated list into my config file (like <cite>Host bullock,dickstone</cite>) the following config is used for neither one. If instead I provide the host list as space separated (like <cite>Host bullock dickstone</cite>) the following configuration is used for both systems. This is either a bug in the program or a bug in the documentation. Since ssh works as stated in the man page on OpenSuSE 10.3 I doubt the later one.
