            Bug ID: 2083
           Summary: Add option to display VisualHostKey only when remote
                    is not in known_hosts
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.5p1
          Hardware: ix86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: ssh

The config option VisualHostKey=yes will display the ASCII art of the
remote public key every time one connects to a remote host. 

However, it may be interesting to do this only when the remote host is
*not* mentionned in known_hosts, just like fingerprints are displayed
only for unknown hosts. 

A potential option would be: 
 VisualHostKey=unknown-hosts
