On this one, I think *most*people* are like me. I ignore the warning. Unless I am doing the install in a coffee shop with 'free' internet access that I have never used before. But at home, if I am using an ISP that I have been using for several years, and that has a good reputation in my part of the world, I know the warning does not apply to me, in my particular situation.

I think this will silence the warning forever, or at least until you think to delete those lines from your ~/.ssh/config. I do not want to do that, because I am too cautious to commit, long term, to such a departure from what Debian gurus consider to be best practice. ;-) YMMV, Cheers, -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
