~/.ssh/known_hosts

~/.ssh/known_hosts is a user's known hosts file which contains a list of host keys for all hosts the user has logged into that are not already in the systemwide list of known host keys.

The following command gets a listing of the fingerprints along with their random art for all known hosts:

$ ssh-keygen -lv -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts

known_hosts does not exist

This Stackoverflow answer suggests to use ssh to create ~/.ssh/known_hosts if it does not exist.

$ ssh-keygen -R 192.168.0.103
Cannot stat /home/rene/.ssh/known_hosts: No such file or directory

$ ssh rene@192.168.0.103
…

~/.ssh/known_hosts

known_hosts does not exist
