why the hostname is # HostName: 192.168.2.101 in generated ~/.ssh/config, not hostname 192.168.2.101, Can I customize the template before building config?

Hi! I am running into the same problem. Has it been solved?

This just started happening for me, today... Could have been post-homebrew-upgrade, but unfortunately wasn't paying enough attention to notice when it broke.

EDIT: The hostname is supposed to be commented out, i realized -- the actual connection is made using assh connect --port=<port> <host>. Bizarrely, this command is triggering a no route to host error for me, all of a sudden:

$ /usr/local/bin/assh connect --port=22 10.0.10.1
Error: failed to dial: dial tcp 10.0.10.1:22: connect: no route to host
Usage:
  assh connect [flags]

Examples:

Flags:
      --dry-run      Only show how assh would connect but don't actually do it
  -h, --help         help for connect
      --no-rewrite   Do not automatically rewrite outdated configuration
  -p, --port int     SSH destination port

failed to dial: dial tcp 10.0.10.1:22: connect: no route to host

ssh (using a config to bypass assh) works fine:

$ /usr/bin/ssh -F plain_ssh 10.0.10.1
SSH@sw-core>

other tools (e.g, netcat) also connect successfully.

I'm running assh 2.16.0, freshly re-installed with brew on macOS 15.1.

Other IP addresses seem to connect fine. This happens to (as far as I can tell) only affect sshing to the IP address which is also the default gateway for my host's primary IP address... 😕

Turns out, in my case, this is golang running afoul of a newer macOS security mechanism.

I guess this will be fixed when a fixed go compiler is used to build assh. (for homebrew)
