+So current log level DEBUG will output a message if the known host
+file has been modified. If the issue is that you want to know at the
+default log level everytime the known\_hots file is modified, then we
+should just move this message to INFO instead of debug, and then maybe
+remove the message that I added above. I was under the impression
+that the issue was more about notification that a *new* key was added
+to the known\_hosts file, and therefore the new INFO message above
+fixed that problem. Should we do this instead?

+In general, more verbose log levels *do* tell the user what the
+monkeysphere is doing. Moving to DEBUG log level will tell you pretty
+much everything that happens. I do *not* think that this should be
+the default log level, though.
