You can try changing the default known_hosts file to dev-null. ssh
will still display a warning but won't ask for your input. Make sure
your host pattern is solid since this is defeating the whole point of
host authentication. And I suggest maintaining your test servers host
keys instead if you are working over an insecure network.
