---------------------------------------------------------

Can you tell me what I'm getting:

hostfile_read_key: sshkey_read /export/home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:1:
invalid format

when it's the SSH program that is putting the keys into the known_hosts
file?

I uploaded attachments and diagnostics on October 28, 2023.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
