Missing ~/.ssh directories and files

Running Mandriva 2005LE, wanted to install RSA keys on a server but can't find any ~/.ssh/known_hosts files for root or users on the system. I can ssh into the server (using PuTTY - on a private network) to both root and users. Where is the system stuffing the keys at?

 

TIA for any help

known host as far as I encountered will be created only on linux where you access from.. so if you ssh from that LE 2005, it will create ~/.ssh/known_hosts... listing the ip of the machine you are accesing into.. if you want to generate RSA keys.. for the user.. try the command "ssh-keygen"
