After installing ssh I generated my keys with ssh-keygen. I copied the public on my remote account. It is an account at my local university. When I made ssh hostname ssh told me: The authenticity of the host can't be established, it prints out the key fingerprint and asks me whether I want to continue to connect. Whether I type yes or no, doesn't matter, the described procedure starts again. Only Control-C stops the whole problem. What's wrong? Did I misunderstand the man-page?
Thanks Stephan
