Is there a patch you're using to be able to put this in the ssh *daemon* 
configuration?

This is an OpenSSH client configuration option from what I know. It makes sense 
that
it would say the host has disconnected if the SSH daemon hasn't started up 
because of
an invalid configuration.

Ok, I am wholly uniformed about this. You are correct this is a non-daemon 
function.  (looks like I was 
looking at the manual entry for ssh_config instead of sshd_config on my 
machine.)

I still would like to be able to see the visual keys implemented on ConnectBot. 
Do you want me to open up a 
new ticket for this enhancement request or will this ticket suffice?

Thanks,

Charles

We can change this. I'm not sure if Trilead gives up enough information. 
Perhaps we
could stick it in the host key verifier since we're asking the user to verify 
it.

The code that OpenSSH uses is in key.c under the randomart function:
