Cause: The client failed to open a suitable SSH2 server process.

Continue and add the host to the knownhost store(yes/no)?
If the user enters "yes", a KNOWNHOST object storing the remote host's public key is automatically added for
the user to the SSHCTL database. Otherwise, the client process terminates.
If STRICTHOSTKEYCHECKING is FALSE, the client will display the following messages:
For convenience the host identification has been added FROZEN.
Host name is <hostname>
