On 11.4 I had ssh working perfectly without passwords between my laptop and my desktop. Since upgrading the desktop to 12.1, ssh from the laptop to the desktop fails because the remote server's host key has changed.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
[...] Add correct host key in /home/bob/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. [...] Host key verification failed.
I'm not sure which file to copy onto my USB stick and where to put it (~/.ssh/known_hosts probably, but nothing I've put there so far has worked).
There must be a simpler way of solving this problem, because most situations will involve hosts separated by significant distances, rather than being in the same room.
Any suggestions, please?

I believe there's another sentence in the error message that you've trimmed out. It lists the failing key and gives the exact commandline string to use to delete it from your known_hosts file. Once it's deleted, you ssh into the system, again, accept the new key and you should be good to go. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
