Okay, I understand this clearly!

Yeah, but its not me obfuscating the know_hosts this seems a
ssh-feature. I dont know how it works and google couldnt tell me
anything more.

Yeah, its better than nothing but I would prefer a dynamic list

Thats the mos important question: How does the know-host obfuscation (or
is it encryption) work and why do they do this at all? 6 months ago my
know-hosts was fine and now everything is encrypted so it must be a
ssh-update. Does anybody know something more?
