known_hosts? #6

Closed richfitz closed 5 years ago

richfitz commented 6 years ago

I noticed that this neither modifies known_hosts or checks it (and warns if not in the list). Is this something that should be enabled perhaps? Is that possible with libssh?

jeroen commented 6 years ago

It's possible but I'm a bit wary of editing the global ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. You know, security and all. But maybe I shouldn't.

richfitz commented 6 years ago

Yeah, totally understand. If it's not something that the underlying library can do for you then it's probably not something you want to get involved with. But perhaps just mentioning somewhere that it's not referred to would be useful

Fixed now.
