On my Ubuntu 22.04 machine, I use Files to connect to a ssh fileshare. During the first connection, I told Files to remember the username and password for this fileshare. In examining the logs on that server, I'm finding that each time Ubuntu connects to it, it tries to authenticate using the LOCAL username first, fails, then successfully connects using the stored username for that server. In Ubuntu Files, I can't see any of this; it simply takes a moment to connect.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Munged log exerpt is below. I replaced the usernames; localuser is the username I'm logged into on the Ubuntu machine, while serveruser is the username for the remote server that is saved in Files (Seahorse?).
