host not found in known_hosts if port != 22

[Germar]

I have created a password-less login to a remote host to use for my backups there. The ssh login works from the command line and ssh says it has added the hosts key to .ssh/known_hosts, but Back In Time complains that the host name was not found. Openssh no longer stores the public key of known hosts with the cleartext name or IP address of the host, but using ECDSA. I don't know the format of this key, nor how to get Back In Time to recognize it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
