User a class A or B IP
If you're offsite - your 192.X.X.X probably won't work.

Subject: validifying RSA key fingerprint


I am trying to figure out how to veryify a RSA key fingerprint against
the hash that i have already in my known_hosts file.

When i connect to a machine for the first time after i move it offsite,
i get a message like:

The authenticity of host 'www.example.com (192.168.x.x)' can't be
established.
RSA key fingerprint is 36:97:27:70:e2:1b:80:32:34:e1:7p:99:89:93:45:92.

in my known hosts i have something like:

192.168.x.x ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAmPwYG833PifTQ501dsi6JSB/H7HtT0rZ678oSht9I6nWwtaV
Z6KH/fToPZlrtExAIvIj9W901MsUYMTCT9LlPN7RNzVBtIJEBt+P59vZn6xPKbzEk3DDU92u5jBG
ukR7qGaF9oz+h3Q06mqZauu+BeLt147ChuqHXT0hO08TLfM=


so how can i convert the ssh-rsa into a fingerprint to compare the two.
Or maybe there's even an easier way?


TIA,

Aaron Martinez

ps, i know the above fingerprint and the following ssh-rsa don't match.
