I tried to ssh to another machine and got a failing man-in-the-middle |
2 |
warning. |

The fingerprint given to check didn't match that of the target host. On |
5 |
closer inspection, the entries in known_hosts are *ecdsa-sha2-nistp256* |
6 |
and the offending key was of type *ed25519*, as reported by the client. |

These are both gentoo machines, relatively recently updated. |

Everything on the net talks about how to generate key files of the |
11 |
appropriate type, but I'm don't want to generate a key file. |

Apparently, this is a gentoo configuration issue. USE flags of openssh |
14 |
on both machines are the same. |

There are two news items related to ssh, but neither seems relevant. |

Has there been a changed system-wide determination of the key type and |
19 |
what would be the best way to make them consistent across all machines? |
