Can one connect to a machine with a hyphen in the hostname

[Neil Hendin]

Hi all, I am having trouble connecting to a particular machine that has a hyphen in the hostname. The connection works from a CrosVM instance on the same Chromebook, so I think it's a SecureShell issue rather than an SSH issue per se.

I have a machine called projectname-lab.internal.domain.com

when I try to ssh using the extension, I get:
Welcome to Secure Shell version 0.68

...removed for brevity....
Looking up relay server using: ssh-relay.corp.company.com:443

                                                                                   [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] destination [command [argument ...]]

The line highlighted in red makes me think the hyphen is being interpreted incorrectly. 

I did try the usual escape options of \- or quoting the hostname, but neither worked.

Thanks!

hyphens in hostnames work just fine.  i just tested over here with hy-phen-test.domain.org and had no issues.

double check your ssh config settings.

Hmm thanks Mike!

Is there any particular setting I should look for in the SecureShell menu?

No settings are obviously set weird here, in fact they are blank.

look at the connection manager for the per-connection settings.  it has a per-host SSH command line section.

Nothing odd here? I don't think?

your SSH arguments are incorrect.  you're attempting to run `ssh --config=google ...` which is why it's showing you errors.

you already set those as relay options above.

D'oh yeah. Thanks Mike.  PEBKAC.  

Have a good one.
