Yes, I said so in the first post.

no, it does not.  I did describe the circumstances though I tend to use
more words than many folks do.  As I said, since both lapdog0 and lapdog1
are the same machine (with the same mac address) just booted into different
OSes they both get the same IP from DHCP.   That seems to land two entries
for the same IP in known_hosts and that seems to make ssh complain.

I did not think to try that and it is too late as I am re-installing that
machine to test out a couple of things.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
