In Precise, ssh_config's man page correctly states that multiple hosts
(ex: Host A B C) are to be separated by spaces and that multiple from=""
(ex: from="example.com,192.2.0.1") in the authorized_keys files are
comma-separated.

Title:
  ~/.ssh/config does not handle multiple hosts correctly

Status in “openssh” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
