Description Konrad Rosenbaum 2004-01-03 11:44:21 AEDT 
Distro: Debian 
SSH: 3.4 
 
1) when running "ssh-keygen -l -f .ssh/known_hosts" the reported hash value is 
different from the hash value ssh asks for when connecting to the system for 
the first time. This makes it very difficult to hand out hashes to new users 
for comparison. 
 
2) ssh should have an option to display the fingerprints of all used keys in 
order to better be able to trace them.
Comment 1 Ben Lindstrom 2004-01-03 11:50:27 AEDT 
I don't follow:

$ ssh-keygen -l -f known_hosts
[..]
1024 22:50:97:bc:73:65:1f:b7:77:17:f4:75:a7:b1:9a:9e localhost
[..]

ssh ::1
The authenticity of host '::1 (::1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 22:50:97:bc:73:65:1f:b7:77:17:f4:75:a7:b1:9a:9e.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?


Please look at a NEWER version 3.4 is rather old.

I can't replicate this with the current version either. Closing.
