ssh percent_expand: NULL replacement

[Troy Telford]

You're not the first with this problem.

There is a ticket filed in the MacPorts database:
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13046

The following is shamelessly pulled from an earlier posting (courtesy  
of jptix, whom gives credit to Allan Odgaard.):

The solution to this problem is to use the -i flag when connecting to  
the
server:

ssh user at host -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa

You can also make this permanent for all servers by adding this line  
to your
~/.ssh/config:

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa
