    Hi, all --

    We use ssh as part of our batch scripts and occasionally come across a
    machine we haven't visited before and get hung up.

    Within this network we can trust and believe all machines, so I would
    like to set a flag that causes the new host key, whatever it may be, to
    be added to the known_hosts file and we move on.

    Can this be accomplished without taking apart the program and modifying
    the source code?

    TIA & HAND

    :-D
