 |
|
I am not sure what the problem is but when I try to get into my account through SSH, I get the following message:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# ssh -l username domain.com
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
70:25:21:14:0c:3f:e5:37:7d:3c:70:23:0b:d9:3b:9e.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:3
RSA host key for domain.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

I have no problems using SSH with my other accounts, just this one. I was told to delete line three from /root/.ssh/known_hosts:3 but that particular file does not seem to exist.
What should I do?

From the account (make sure you use su -l or login directly into that user) on the remote box that you trying to ssh from try typing:
nano $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
Then remove the lines that pertain to domain.com. Make sure that there is a good reason as to why the host key has changed or you could have someone who is trying to perfom an attack on your connection. |
