RE: SSH



So, you already have your keys generated and installed.

Here are the ssh options I use in my automation:

ssh -q -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

The StrictHostKeyChecking is the option that does what you were asking
about.  I feed it in as an argument to ssh within the script so that I do
not have change it globally for any ssh client on that machine.  

The -q merely puts it in quiet mode and suppresses warnings and errors.
More info is in ssh's man page.

Greeting all!

I am trying to write a script that ssh to all the computers in my
school and perform automated tasks.  For a machine say, p30, i can
just put ssh p30 <command> in my script to execute that command.  I
have public-key authentication so no password is required.

Now if this is the first time I login to that machine, I will 
get the question

The authenticity of host 'p30 ' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is .
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

And I have to type yes or no.  This is annoying since the script
should be able to run automatically.  How can I make the script to
accept this automatically?

Thanks in advance!
