I suspect that this is at least in part deliberate, and I at least am absolutely not comfortable with changing this. Offering a simple option to ignore the error makes it seem safe to do so - even if you warn, people will still say "yeah, whatever, just let me in". In fact, unless you have good knowledge that the machine's circumstances have changed, ssh's prompt means that the target machine *may have been DNS- compromised* and it may be *dangerous* to just blaze on through regardless.
I realise that for people who reinstall machines frequently this is an inconvenience (although see the advice Darren gave you on the upstream bug report), but given the fairly well-understood effects of providing "ignore this security warning" buttons, I don't think that outweighs safety. -- ssh does not give option to trust on changed keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
