Bug 1426

everyone has seen the lines attached to this bug report. 

please add a note to that warning how i can list all fingerprints "FROM" and "ON" the remote side so that i could see what is going on. say i have another ssh session still running so i would not have to accept the new host key first.

the line could look like this:
******************* <please add this to the warning> *******************
You can verify your fingerprint on the remote side with:
ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
(in case your keys are stored somewhere else, adapt the path) 

If the fingerprint from the remote side and the one your client states to be new match there is no 'man in the middle attack' going on and you can safely accept the new fingerprint on the client side with 'yes'.
