Question Bash: capturing *Anything* which showed on screen

Hi,

I have a simple question about I/O redirection. the question is:
"How can I redirect all characters from a Bash screen to a file?"

Let me describe a little more: I know about I/O Redirection in Bash.
and also about stdin/stdout/stderr. something like: # ls 2>&1 1>ls.out

But! sometimes it's not possible to capture output of some Apps.
SSH is a good sample. I tried to capture a complete output of an
ssh session but it was not possible! when you are trying to do an
ssh for the first time, it will shows a message like this:

Code:
 
The authenticity of host '192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is ****
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

And, this message couldn't be captured!

Any suggestions would be appreciated Smilie
