Description bugmenot 2013-04-01 11:07:29 AEDT 
The config option VisualHostKey=yes will display the ASCII art of the remote public key every time one connects to a remote host. 

However, it may be interesting to do this only when the remote host is *not* mentionned in known_hosts, just like fingerprints are displayed only for unknown hosts. 

A potential option would be: 
 VisualHostKey=unknown-hosts
