~/.ssh/known_hosts contains a list of hosts together with their public keys. This is used for verifying whether a remote host is authentic. This file is automatically appended for each new host connected to, and is subsequently checked everytime you try to connect to a remote host. Now, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys contains a list of hosts together with their public keys. However, this is used for a remote host to be able to connect to your machine non-interactively in a secure manner. This file is NOT generated by default. man ssh for more details -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
