Easiest way is to turn off StrictHostKeyChecking for localhost. Add this to the end of your ~/ssh/config Host localhost StrictHostKeyChecking no You can also tool around with adding distinct HostKeyAlias names on the ssh command line for each separate machine you want to log in to if verifying host keys on the destination machine is important to you. (the relevant man page for reading about these things is ssh_config(5)) -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
