[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x18 pc=0x79ea53]

Using plain username/password authentication works.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a YML document as seen below
  2. Run commander test test.yml
  3. Watch the beautiful stacktrace :)
nodes:
  node1:
    type: ssh
    addr: node1:22
    identity-file: /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
    #user: root
    #pass: trustno1

config:
  nodes:
    - node1

tests:
  check kurt user:
    command: id kurt
    stdout:
      contains:
        - kurt
      not-contains:
        - no such user
    exit-code: 0

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

SSH login succeeds and test is executed.

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

Application crashes.
