looking for known_hosts2 (and also /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts and /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2) also happens on my machines, both a debian install and my gentoo machine, the files not being present does not prevent the ssh connection from working though. So this is probably not the issue.
Judging from comments [1] it appears to be an undocumented legacy feature. [1] https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aopenssh%2Fopenssh-portable+known_hosts2&type=commits On 08.01.24 01:32, the...@sys-concept.com wrote:
