Issue

kdump.service fails when configuring it for "ssh" and only giving a host name without a `user@` part. There is no useful error message, so it's unnecessarily hard to see what's wrong. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: cat <<EOF > /etc/kdump.conf auto_reset_crashkernel yes path /var/crash core_collector makedumpfile -l --message-level 7 -d 31 -F failure_action reboot ssh localhost sshkey /root/.ssh/id_rsa EOF systemctl restart kdump Actual Results: Job for kdump.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status kdump.service" and "journalctl -xeu kdump.service" for details. and journal just says systemd[1]: Starting kdump.service - Crash recovery kernel arming... kdumpctl[11597]: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. kdumpctl[11591]: kdump: Starting kdump: [FAILED] systemd[1]: kdump.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Expected Results: Preferably, allow this, and default to root@, i.e what ssh does. Alternatively, give an useful error message about the configuration being invalid.
