Your screen shot has a pretty good description of what you need to do. When you install ssh on a host it generates a host key fingerprint and on your first connection to that target it stores a copy in ~/.ssh/known_hosts after you respond to the prompt about it. Subsequent connections verify that the value is the same and fail if not. If know the OS has been reinstalled or the host key replaced for some other reason, you must remove that line (conveniently noted after the : in the error message) from the known_hosts file, and then manually connect to that host so you can answer the prompt about accepting the new value. This is separate from, and in addition to what you have to do with the user level public key that goes in the target authorized_hosts file. I didn't understand the context of that: Write failed: Broken pipe message in your previous post though. That could mean that you have the wrong owner/permissions on one of the files in question. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
