And the "new trick of the week" award goes to... SSH configuration files.

I've been an OpenSSH user for a LONG, LONG time. I've used lots of different configuration, and connected to probably hundreds of hosts. No, I don't use a GUI interface. Yes, I prefer scp to just about any other remote copying tool. I pretty much thought I knew it all.

Turns out there was an elephant-sized hole in my SSH knowledge. One of my colleagues at Palantir.net showed me his .ssh/config file.
