ssh attempts to access /.ssh for a list of known hosts. Is there any way to direct ssh to a different file? Otherwise, there is a long delay when launching ssh and you always must indicate that it is OK to login to the specified host. Also, is there a way to pass ssh a password on the command line?
I use my IA1 primarily as a thin terminal and would like to be able to have a menu option that logs in to another linux host and launches mozilla for display on the IA-1. This works, but now requires several manual steps due to the ssh issues mentioned above. (ssh to machine, authenticate machine, password).
Does anyone have another solution?
