This is interesting... on my build (precompiled Mandrake cooker,
openssh-2.3.0p1-7.3mdk) the default is StrictHostKeyChecking no. man
ssh(1) says for StrictHostKeyChecking, "The argument must be ``yes'' or
``no''." No mention of an 'ask' setting anywhere I can find, though it
does work if I set it to ask. Thanks for the help.
