- billyhoffman 10y agoIf by "prompted" you mean: @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now! Then, yes, users will be prompted in the scariest possible language. Compare this with HTTPS/browsers, which care not a lick if a certificate/fingerprint is different, provided that the certificate is valid and the chain is trusted.
