BUG: username ignored for remote activate

[MihailCosmin]

Hello,

I have setup a remote host, which I want to connect to from another (local) computer.
I have correctly setup ssh acccess.

My hostfile.txt contains only the IP of the remote host:
10.1.1.33

If I do this:
genv remote --hostfile hostfile.txt devices
It tries to connect with my local username and asks me for password, so I added the username with --username:
genv remote --hostfile hostfile.txt --username remoteUsername devices

Now this part works and it connects without asking for password:
HOST TOTAL AVAILABLE
10.1.1.33 1 1

Total 1 devices with 1 available on 1 hosts

Next if I do this:
genv remote --hostfile hostfile.txt --username remoteUsername activate --gpus 1

It again tries to connect with local username and asks me for password, even if I mention the user to use.
I think this is a bug.

Hello @MihailCosmin,

If you try to open a new terminal and run,
genv remote --hostfile hostfile.txt --username remoteUsername devices

Does it ask you for password?
