It's not really comparing, the grep command is used to stream/spool the whole known_hosts file, minus any lines that have "localhost" in them. My SSH config files never have that in there, so I can't really help any further on that.

So are we. Some known_hosts file has appeared on the user's account which has lines in it for "localhost", which get pruned out.

also what is
"StrictHostKeyChecking no"
"ForwardX11 yes"

also the line:
-l fujitsu -p 6003 -L 8080:accessmngr.gibtelecom.lan:8080 localhost &

the -p 6003 is the local linux port? mapping to blind host address/port ?
Check the local man pages. My local system does not have a -q or -Q option.

Normally, yes. We have no idea if the system you are working on has black voodoo on it Smilie
