[Swift-user] GSISSH in Swift [was Fwd: [Swift-devel] Documentation of sites.xml]

[Jonathan Monette]

So we use the etc./provider-sscl.properties file instead of an .ssh/config file?  I ask this because it looks like the code that allows you to specify a username and private key file in the sites file is still there.  I know from past testing that at least specifying a username in the sites file was not being honored.
