&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;If I ever reference a host on a ssh command by an alternate name, it 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;&quot;fails&quot; with a message warning about the possibility of a man in the 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;middle attack.  Is there any way to tell ssh to not pester me about 
&gt; &gt;&gt;&gt;this, or to list several hostnames for the same RSA key?
