That is indeed the structure of the known_hosts file on my desktop machine, but here on my laptop the same file gives no indication of which key relates to which host. Hence I deleted both lines (there are only two machines here that I use ssh with, so it is not onerous to accept new keys).
After accepting the new key, the file looks much the same, with two lines but no identification of host.
I have left the lines wrapped, but each one starts with |1|:

Whether you have clear text entries in $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts as before or encoded ones is controlled by /etc/ssh/ssh_config and/or $HOME/.ssh/config. See "man 5 ssh_config", parameter HashKnownHosts :-) Just my 2¢ Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
