can't override system ssh user setting at all

[Bruce Lysik]

Running on macOS 10.14.5.
ruby 2.3.0p0 (2015-12-25 revision 53290) [x86_64-darwin16]
runbook (0.13.0)

No matter where I set the "user" command, it always falls back to my personal username.

I've tried in the section, step, and using the ssh_command overrides. Still nothing.

Please let me know what troubleshooting/debugging info you need. Thanks!

The user command is used to specify the user that you will sudo execute the command as once you connect using ssh. I'm guessing you are looking to connect to your server using a specified user and not your personal username. In this case you can either update your server string to be like the following:

server "[e-mail]"

Or you could use your ~/.ssh/config file to designate the user when connecting to a specific host. Something like:

Host dev
    HostName dev.example.com
    User john
    Port 2322

Then you could specify your server as dev and it will know to connect to [e-mail]:2322 by using your ~/.ssh/config file.

Here's more info on configuring ~/.ssh/config: https://linuxize.com/post/using-the-ssh-config-file/

If this doesn't resolve your issue, feel free to reopen

That was it, thanks.
