Ive tried removing the known_hosts file already unfortunately. I did not include the ssh command I was running, but I am not trying to log in as root. I was using 'ssh -v user@host.com' Just to ensure there is no misunderstanding, the output when I the known_host entry is removed is included below. [root@lithium .ssh]#/usr/obj/usr/src/secure/usr.bin/ssh/ssh daren@daren.ca The authenticity of host 'daren.ca (65.49.123.132)' can't be established. DSA key fingerprint is 31:b1:cf:32:4f:86:9f:fe:e2:39:4a:63:e6:4f:ee:fb. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'daren.ca,65.49.123.132' (DSA) to the list of known hosts. key_verify failed for server_host_key [root@lithium .ssh] On Wed, 2004-03-31 at 16:49, Dave Tweten wrote: > desjardins@canada.com said: > >debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature incorrect > >key_verify failed for server_host_key > > You may be suffering from the confusion I mentioned in my prevoious > message -- if daren.ca's public key has changed since you began trying to > make SSH work. > > Get rid of /root/.ssh/known_hosts.
