How can I force ssh to accept a new host fingerprint from the command line?

Question

I\'m getting the standard

WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropp         


        

Answer 1

Add following file

~/.ssh/config

and this in the file as content

StrictHostKeyChecking no

This setting will make sure that ssh will never ask for fingerprint check again. This should be added very carefully as this would be really dangerous and allow to access all fingerprints.
