hi there, i was wondering if it was possible to use known_hosts for some kind of "local alias" database.
e.g. i have only an ip. it would be nice imho if i could add a symbolic name: before: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABvI.... snip snip snip after: box,aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABvI.... snip snip snip and i could do a $ ssh box without box resolving to anything outside ssh... this would be quite handy if there's no access to /etc/hosts and i think it's more "elegant" than using shell variables, aliases, etc... -f -- someone whom you reject today, will reject you tomorrow.
