cannot specify a Host setting with a wildcard for ssh::ssh_config

[bwitt]

I can't seem to add a Host entry for ssh::ssh_config that has a wildcard.

That seems to be because that entry is required to be a stdlib::host (stdlib::host docs here) which can only be an ip address, fqdn, or short hostname.

The SSH client accepts things that have a wildcard; could the module accept that here? could this just be a String?

Stdlib::Host allows for short names. Could you provide the name you are attempting?

sorry I actually meant a Host entry with a wildcard like this does not work

Host: *.example.com
ForwardAgent: 'yes'

a Host entry with just a shortname does seem to work.
