Hello, I have just set-up SSH on my UNIX systems. I can connect to all of them just fine using Win32 client. But when I try to ssh from one UNIX system to another I keep getting this message: RSA1 key fingerprint is fa:a2:ac:d6:58:a6:48:0b:cc:13:ea:b7:d5:bd:fd:de. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? When I choose yes to the above message it just keeps looping through, never actually allowing me to connect and never creating the known _hosts file which I believe it should. I realize that I need a known_hosts file since that is what is in my config, but how does this file get created? I created the known_hosts file manually by cat'ng the ssh_host_key.pub and redirecting it to another then editing it and adding the servername and IP and removing the whoever at whatever at the bottom of the file. I then ftp the file to the servers that need to know about this host. This worked, but was a major pain in the butt. I did notice in the archives, a reference to make-ssh-known-hosts, but I have not been able to find any documentation on this. I also tried using ssh-keygen to create the file but this failed as well, probably a syntax error. I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction on this :) Thanks in advance! Chantal
