I have .ssh/config starting with

ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/%C
ControlPersist 24h
ForwardAgent yes
ServerAliveInterval 60
AddressFamily inet
AddKeysToAgent yes

and end with

Host ssh.example.com
Hostname ssh.real.example.com
Port 32222
StrictHostKeyChecking No
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
ControlMaster No
ControlPath none

but it is still using ControlMaster and it is a huge problem. How do I fix this?

Does this answer your question? Are host configurations in the SSH config merged?

In short: "For each directive, the first relevant occurrence in the ssh_config is used".

Additionally from this other answer: 'Don't think of Host/Match as separate "sections", in general – think of it as a single large config where some settings are filtered'. Follow these rules and you will be able to parse the config like ssh does.
