SSH to remote is always asking to add the key even it's known

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,
following situation:

root@OpenWrt:~# ssh -i /usr/keys/remote.key root@remote
Connection to root@remote is done and key get added to known_hosts

Doing the same in a script located in /etc/hotplug.d/ is asking me to add the key because it's not known.
Both are executed by root, check with a simple whoami in the script.

Any idea why this get asked in the script executed by OpenWRT (executed as root)?

You have to set $HOME for dbclient as it does not permit overriding it. For OpenSSh read manual.

Ok, did another way. Setup OpenSSH instead of using Dropbear.
Then all works fine.
