Well, a better check would be whether a given host name resolves to the
same IP address, taking into account also ssh's config via the "Host"
option. Don't know how hard this is.

And even this isn't bullet-proof. Due to network configuration, hostB
could resolve to different addresses on my local machine and on hostA,
although it is still the same machine.

And no, I don't want to start comparision of different machine uuids or
so.

Best regards, Michael.
