My ISP (earlier today, without informing me beforehand) stopped allowing regular telnet access and now only allows ssh. However, when I try to ssh to them from FQ's shell, I get the following message:

The authenticity of host 'monet.op.net (207.29.195.3)' can't be established.
RSA1 key fingerprint is 99:2d:26:c3:1e:48:de:71:de:3e:4b:ee:65:48:f9:7b.

This occurs whether I try the simple command with hostname only, or the one in which I also specify my login on the remote system (it's different than the one I have on FQ).

DNS and reverse-DNS match up when I do NSLOOKUPs. What am I missing?

Never mind. I stupidly didn't let it retry and monet.op.net wasn't a known host. ssh eventually added it to the known hosts file and all is fine.
