Perfect, thanks. I now have "installer-on" which runs ssh -o GlobalKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null installer@"$1" for my particular case of running the installer. > This is also useful if I don't want to remember the key even if > it's not already in the known_hosts file. > > - Host will permanently have a new key. > > ssh-keygen -R hostname > > This will remove all keys for a given host from the known_hosts > file, and then a new key can be accepted for that host, which will > be stored permanently. And thanks for others' similar suggestions, but I prefer not having to create a user configuration file.
