Every time I use ssh these days, it refuses to verify the authenticity of the host, and adds a new (duplicate) entry for that host in ~/.ssh/known_hosts: bwaters@godot bwaters $ rm .ssh/known_hosts bwaters@godot bwaters $ ssh funes.aoc.nrao.edu The authenticity of host 'funes.aoc.nrao.edu (146.88.1.55)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 5d:5c:28:cf:8e:e8:af:7f:cc:ed:8b:d9:49:8b:66:42. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'funes.aoc.nrao.edu,146.88.1.55' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

Problem resolved with newest openssh-3.7_p1. WORKSFORME
