Re: known_hosts are encrypted ?

All,

 Sorry for the query
 I figured this out 
 There is /etc/ssh/ssh_config which has an option HashKnownHosts
 if 
 HashKnownHosts yes
 then the hostnames are not in plain text in the known_hosts file of the
user. So, bash_completion is not able to get the hostnames.

thanks
