Specifying port does not work

[compass-dexter]

Hello, while running ssh-audit on a non-standard port, I noticed that alternate port options is not respected:

# ssh-audit --port=5022 --targets=ips_acm.txt
[exception] cannot connect to 10.x.y.a port 22: timed out
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[exception] cannot connect to 10.x.y.b port 22: timed out

ssh-audit is installed through pipx:

# pipx list | grep ssh-audit
   package ssh-audit 3.3.0.dev0, installed using Python 3.11.9
    - ssh-audit

A workaround is to specify each target in the file with the format "host1:5022".

I suppose I can update the code to use the --port value as the default for all targets so this works as expected.

I believe this is now fixed. Please test this if you can, and re-open the issue if you find the problem still unsolved.

Thanks for reporting!
