When connecting via ssh to a host for the first time, ssh has the gaul to ask me if an "RSA key fingerprint ..." is correct. Well, duh, how am I supposed to know? I think I'm connecting to my own machine. Just how might I determine the fingerprint in advance? And the other part of this is if I provide ssh connection for somebody else I'd like to tell them in advance what the fingerprint is that they should expect to see. Its a bit easier than handing the entire public key. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
