Not being asked to verify footprint on unknown server

I've installed openssh-4.5p1 but am having a problem logging into it from another server on the same LAN.

When I use ssh on another system to log in to the new instance of sshd:

ssh -v -v -v -l mark new_server

I can see it go through the process of trying to verify new_server's identity. That process fails -- which is expected, because
new_server is an unknown host at this point.

What follows is weird, however: I don't get asked if I want to log on to new_server (i.e., store its signature in the known_hosts
file).

Why would that happen?
