All, I use bash completion and was pretty happy for some time till i upgraded to etch. I see that the .ssh/known_hosts file for all the new entries added contains one line per host added as |1|<encrypted>=<key> since this is encrypted, bash_completion somehow is not working for me. Is there any method to fix this ? thanks -- Bhasker C V Registered Linux user: #306349 (counter.li.org) The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux.
