integrating rsync with Rev

[Josh Mellicker]

Okay, here's where I'm stuck with using rsync and Rev for remote <->  
local file transfers:

The first time you run an rsync command with a certain server, you get  
this prompt from rsync:

The authenticity of host 'revcoders.org (67.19.54.130)' can't be  
established.
RSA key fingerprint is 9f:8c:ba:a9:5d:3f:b4:ef:f7:4a:2c:20:cd:77:b3:8c.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

Somehow, we either need to:

1. "expect" this possible response (the first time only) and answer  
"yes"

2. or, would it be a better solution to check for the key fingerprint  
on the local machine and create it if necessary? Or, perhaps just  
create it temporarily and delete it at the end of the session for  
security purposes?

Until I figure out how to properly configure the key pairs on local  
and remote machines I am stuck :-(
