StrictHostkeyChecking - boolean
References Schema: StrictHostkeyChecking, StrictHostkeyChecking Mapping: strict_host_key_checking StrictHostKeyChecking Notes This parameter specifies the behavior for hosts that have not previously been involved in a file transfer. By default it is not necessary that the user "known hosts" files contain the host key which corresponds to the value "false". If this parameter is set to "true", the host key is expected in the user "known hosts" files and YADE will refuse to connect to hosts whose host key cannot be found. This setting forces the user to manually add new hosts to the "known hosts" files.

Explanations

Host keys are added to user known hosts files. For Unix systems this defaults to the $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts file
Setting this parameter to "true" provides maximum protection against Trojan horse attacks. See also http://www.online-tutorials.net/security/secure-ssh-tutorial-part-1-host-key/tutorials-t-69-201.html .
