Hi All,
I'm new here and relatively new to UNIX. I've read many threads on here since I converted to OSX but never written a post before so hoping someone can help me learn a bit more.
I was poking around my machine and found my .ssh folder and the known hosts file within it.
There is an IP and a long string within this known hosts file.
The IP is an Amazon Web Services IP as far as I can see and I assume the string is some kind of key.
Could someone explain what could cause such an IP to show in this hosts file and why it might be there and if it's normal?
Many thanks
