Re: ssh issue after security upgrade

I completely removed the known_hosts files to make sure it wasn't. After reinstalling the openssh_client
and about 3 reboots though it started working.

I just upgraded SSH on two hosts due to the security vulnerability.  The
remote machine is Debian Woody running openssh-client 4.3p2-9, server is
the same level.  One of the two local machines is ubuntu gutsy running
1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.5 for both client and server.  The other local machine
is debian sarge running: 3.8.1p1-8.sarg.


When i ssh from the remote machine to local I get:

~ I get the same message no matter which local machine I'm sshing to. I
have a debian lenny box with which can connect successfully to both
local hosts.  I have removed /home/robert/.ssh/known_hosts on the
remote machine and I still get that entry.

~  Anyone have any ideas?


Read around the upgrade. Due to a potential vulnerability in the generated keys they are re-created new when you upgrade ssh. Check the new key is the right one and then accept it.
