Scott, I had the same problem at the office with a multi-boot usb-connected drive that has various distros installed. Sometimes I boot linux on a laptop, but there are various other boxes that I also use it on, some with dynamically assigned addresses, others fixed.
My solution was to clone the host keys across the various machines. Specifically, the following files: $ ls -la /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key* -rw------- 1 root root 1196 2007-10-12 11:40 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1114 2007-10-12 11:40 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 1675 2007-10-12 11:40 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 394 2007-10-12 11:40 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub So, the fingerprint will always match, no matter the name or address. Hope it helps. - Nigel _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
