   I am trying to automate the mount/umount cycle for a script that does    
   some backup work for me. My local mail provider (gmx) offers WebDAV    
   based storage, so I mounted the WebDAV drive as suggested here (german    
   tutorials):   
      
   http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/GMX_mediacenter_mounten   
   http://www.zerties.org/tiki-index.php?page=WebdavHowto   
      
   Now my problem is, that every time I run the mount command I am being    
   asked whether the https certificate can be trusted of not. Of course it    
   can be trusted, but this way it's impossible for me to automate. Is    
   there some way to add this key to "known_hosts" or something similar, so    
   that it stops bothering me? Here is what it does:   
      
      
   root@ubuntu60664m:~/.ssh# mount /home/tag/gmxstorage/ Server cerifticate    
   could not be verified.

   If you can't verify the fingerprint the server may be faked or there may    
   be a man-in-the-middle-attack!   
   I am not a coward and accept the certificate anyway [y,N]?   
      
   Then i have to press "y" and it's okay.   
      
   Any Ideas?
