Re: Using the Host declaration properly

For each parameter, the first obtained value will be used. The configu-

that section is only applied for hosts that match one of the patterns
given in the specification. The matched host name is the one given on
the command line.

It didn't occur to me that the aforementioned ordering would also apply
to Host stanzas themselves. I was thinking of it as applied to options
that the user accidentally specified more than once. But it makes
sense,
because as soon as you entered the first Host stanza, that variable has
been set, and cannot then be reset to a different value as the
documentation states.

Thanks!
