SSH tunnelling fails on ubuntu #14

Closed knes1 closed 7 years ago

knes1 commented 7 years ago

As referenced in #13, ssh tunneling fails in the ubuntu unless username is specified.

Suspected reason is failure to detect username/login of the currently logged in user. elktail -ssh hostname.com will fail however elktail -ssh john.doe@hostname.com works fine.

As a temporary workaround add username to the ssh connection string.
