It’s a convenience command to remove an entry from the list of known hosts, whether it exists or not or the file doesn’t even exist; it should only fail when the job can’t be done (e.g. the file is write-protected). Think of it as 'rm -f known_hosts/entry' which won’t fail if known_hosts/ doesn’t exist. bye, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually.
