Generally, I would agree with you however there are some scenarios where it makes sense to do so. It isn't ideal but you have to pick your battles. Jason L. Froebe Tech Blog	[reply]

You are right in that sometimes there is no alternative but to just disable host key checking entirely. But in my experience, it is common for people to do that without actually knowing they are ditching the protocol security, just as an easy way to get SSH working.	[reply]
