ssh DSA Key fingerprint option
Hi,
I have an cron-script running ssh every 5 minutes. After a reboot cron errors as ssh is wating for a DSA key fingerprint authenticy.
The request looks as following :
The authenticity of host '*** (*.*.*.0)' can't be established.
DSA key fingerprint is 11:59:*4:46:21:2*:e0:77:db:55:*2:*e:*1:*2:*9:*6.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Of course * are modified for security reason. When I enter "yes" one time, the question will disapear untill the next reboot.
Does anyone how to avoid this question , or how I can get stdin to work, so that :
echo yes | ssh -tttt <server> <command>
will work ? This to avoid anoying error messages when my system reboots and I accidently forget to run an ssh manualy.

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine (presumably using a login password, so password authentication should be
enabled, unless you've done some clever use of multiple identities)
It also changes the permissions of the remote user's home, ~/.ssh, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to remove group writability (which would oth-
erwise prevent you from logging in, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in its configuration).
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary)
