Anyone notice the following when connecting to a new system with ssh:
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?
Yes, I see the same. I assume 'fingerprint = ssh key fingerprint'.
You can type in expected host key fingerprint and ssh will compare it with actual fingerprint it got from host.
So it's not for a physical fingerprint reader? I was wondering how that would have worked.
An unfortunate clash of names. The ssh fingerprint thing was invented before there were actual fingerprint readers in computers, I understand. man ssh-keygen -l Show fingerprint of specified public key file. For RSA and DSA keys ssh-keygen tries to find the matching public key file and prints its finger- print. If combined with -v, a visual ASCII art representation of the key is supplied with the fin- gerprint. So, try "ssh-keygen -lv -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key" on your computer. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
