As I would expect, or at least hope.

Yes, because it parses "alias1" as the argument to the -a switch, "alias2" as
the username of the user, and "user" as unexpected text at the end of the
command.

This all agrees with my gut feeling about how it should work (use multiple
-a switches if using multiple aliases).

Thanks for clarifying!
