[SLUG] SSH Question

Hey Guys,

I can't sleep, so I have a question: I'm wanting to make sure that the
machine I'm logging into for the first time is the one I want. So, when I ssh
me@remotebox, I'm presented with

The authenticity of host 'painter (199.164.107.21)' can't be established.
RSA1 key fingerprint is c4:07:c6:65:26:58:8c:2a:ea:f0:37:12:d1:8b:e2:88.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

I want to know how to get remotebox to show me the key fingerprint when I'm
physically at the console for that computer. That way I can match the key
fingerprint I'm presented at the very first ssh login with a key fingerprint
I know to be authentic.

Any ideas?

Russell
