see man sshd, section on known_hosts format: you'd be telling us what the public keys of the hosts that you connect to are (if your known_hosts file has hashed hostnames. if those target hosts are internet-visible, then anybody can retrieve their public keys anyway - if somebody was to exhaustively collect host keys on the net, they'd learn that you had connected, too. if your known_hosts contains unhashed hostnames, then those would be disclosed immediately.) if that's unacceptable then you'll have to do a bit of debugging yourself: run a diff -ub between problematic and new known_hosts file, and look for obvious oddities (trailing spaces, odd formatting and so on). if there is something fishy, create a known_hosts file with just the fishy stuff and check if paramiko fails. if nothing shows up, then do a binary search (= cut file in half, try both halves, ignore the half without trouble and repeat the cut-test exercise with the other half until done) with the problematic known_hosts file until you find the one key that makes paramiko fail and submit just that one entry. regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GnuPG Keys 0x42BD645D or 0x5B586291 + http://snafu.priv.at/ <malaclypse> The general rule on about people on IRC seems to be "Attractive, single, mentally stable: choose two"
