Rebecca,
on prime client:
I did not find ``C:\cygwin\home\<your username>\.ssh\known_hosts`
nothing in C:\cygwin\home . just empty. so no delete action.
command:
ssh root@vm07.nubav.thinkon.net "vmware -v"
yes, I just launch it, do not need to answer yes,
it just show the hosts edition information
I did all the 4 hosts using FQDN. they all same, just show the host edition
I did not change anything, any way just try to launch it again
newbie
