PowerShell Core Beta 5 - Linux Enter-PSSession can't connect to Windows

See original GitHub issue

Enter-PSSession stop working connecting Linux to Windows. Also, this error is impacting the Ubuntu Bash console badly to the point that I’m force to close the terminal session. (I will create another incident for it).

Steps to reproduce

Enter command:

PS /home/maxt> Enter-PSSession -HostName earth2 -UserName max_t                                                         
The authenticity of host 'earth2 (10.0.0.15)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:R3auoG/SZpsj8oCMmlchP2JRrtf+tj9+Tr4NJgKp+hY.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
max_t@earth2's password:

Expected behavior

To connect to Windows 10 PowerShell Core session.

Actual behavior

Immediate error after typing password.

Enter-PSSession : The background process reported an error with the following message: The SSH client session has 
ended with error message: Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/maxt/.ssh/known_hosts)..

I’ve been using OpenSSH in Linux since the beginning of PowerShell Core Alpha. Also, I’m constantly updating/upgrading my OS’s both Linux and Windows.

I will continue pursuing it but I’m fine tuning my presentation for SQL Saturday JAX this weekend. I’m not dropping this one.

Keep you posted!
