How does openssh know whether you've accepted a server's key before so
as not to ask the next time 'round?

It puts the key in known_hosts.

I'm just trying to figure out where it stores the info that you've
accepted a key before or not. I was being prompted for keys that were in
the known_hosts file.

Were the names of the hosts that you gave to ssh the same as the name in
the known_hosts file? Two different names for the same server won't
match.
