    On the HMC how can you create a /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts file as the directory is only writable by root ?

    Hey,

    I too faced same problem with HMC, you need to ask your vendor(IBM) to give you root access.
    But in my case they refused to give the password for the same task. Because they mentioned as HMC OS is built on IBM Architecture it is non-customizable.
    so we tried out another solution.

    Not the exact original topic, but there is a "mkauthkeys" command on the HMC to add a public key into the user's authorized_keys file for automated command execution from certain remote hosts.
