    Hi all,

    I am trying to log into a host and, the first time, it gives me a host
    fingerprint, asking whether this is the host I am trying to connect to.
    I know it is, but how do I "REALLY" verify this?

    I cannot seem to find anything on the Net explaining how to do this.

    Thanks in advance.
