ssh/config: line 1: Bad configuration option: include
In my ~/.ssh/config I added the following:
Include /Path/to/ssh.config
And it gives error:
ssh remoteEc-2
/Users/Me/.ssh/config: line 1: Bad configuration option: include
/Users/Me/.ssh/config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options
ssh -V gives:
OpenSSH_6.9p1, LibreSSL 2.1.8
I am on OSX El-Capitan
Answer
Include is not a valid option until version 7.3...
See: https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-7.3
New Features
[...]
- ssh(1): Add an Include directive for ssh_config(5) files.
Also, see this answer.
If you can't / don't want to update, then you could collate your configuration files, using the following:
cat ${CONFIG_1} ${CONFIG_2} ${CONFIG_3} > ~/.ssh/config
You'd need to run it every time you update any of the parts...
