Bug 2194

Summary: Supress VisualHostKey message when re-keying

Description Gerald Turner 2014-01-04 05:54:23 AEDT 
When using VisualHostKey=yes config option, during re-keying the fingerprint message is printed, clobbering the terminal.

I'd like to see the VisualHostKey when connecting, but not at rekey events (unless using -v of course), also if the host key changes it would probably be better to disconnect (unless StrictHostKeyChecking=no?).

This may be fixed by bug #2154 - Avoid key lookup overhead when re-keying.

We'll fix this with bug 2154 I think.
