One way to add the key to the known_hosts is to say "yes" when ssh asks you if the fingerprint matches and that command shows you the fingerprint for you to match the one ssh prints against. Perhaps a bit roundabout compared with just appending the key to the file, but not at all unreasonable IMHO, and certainly better practice than saying yes without checking. Ian.
