I'm sure I would be.  I have read the man pages a few times now but do
acknowledge that I certainly may have overlooked the answer every time.
I have just checked again and neither of the strings'authenticity' nor
'key.fingerprint' appear in my FreeBSD

  OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030201, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f

nor Solaris

  OpenSSH_3.8.1p1-sshrc, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004

man pages.  I trust that I should be looking in the ssh(1) pages and not
at the sshd(8) or otherwise esoteric pages.

Might I ask for a hint or two to set me on my way?
