> Why is node01 being identified by its IP only
Also thanks to weasel, this was due to the IP address missing from
the comma-separated list preceeding each key in the global
ssh_known_hosts file. If the line only reads
node36 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAA[...]
then SSH will not settle since it wants to lock name, IP and key
together. Thus, the user's known_hosts file gets an entry with the
IP, or as weasel put it:
< weasel> it knows the host by name. now it adds the ip address to its
knowledge too.
Making the lines read
node36,192.168.0.136 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAA[...]
instead solves this problem.
