[Bug 41738] Re: confusing error message when connection via ssh fails, because host key verification failed
confirm in Ubuntu-15.10 this bug still exists. in gnome3 nautilus how to invalidate the ssh host cache? I can remove ~/.ssh/known_hosts (or by ssh-keygen -R ... that particular host) that resolved ssh command line login only; but in the file manager (nautilus) it prompts this error message, and I don't know where nautilus save the ssh host key cache? and how to invalidate Oops!

@EvanCaroll: that's precisely what I was trying to report when I came across this bug. However, this bug is specifically about the message being uninformative, with the reporter even suggesting the current wording that nautilus/gvfs uses. I found bug #418192 which refers exactly to the issue at hand, and I'm in the process of upstreaming it -- there are similar-sounding bugs in Gnome's bugzilla, but not entirely the same, so I'll try opening a new one. -- confusing error message when connection via ssh fails, because host key verification failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 41738] Re: confusing error message when connection via ssh fails, because host key verification failed
While certainly a major improvement, it still lacks the information that a console host-key violation would prompt such as, what is a host-key violation, what a violation means, and options. Obviously someone has seen this bug report and tried to fix it, and at least this clues experienced SSH users as to the error. I suppose a gui-improvement would entail education and options: "Click here to remove the old entry from your known_hosts", "click here to cancel". And, maybe an output from the ssh-key visualization thing.

You also come across that error message when you have several SSH servers on different ports behind one IP. The only way I found to temporarily handle that problem is to empty /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts and chmod 000 it. This way, you always get prompted by nautilus as if it was the first time you were connecting. Not the safest workaround.. subject to man in the middle attacks if you're accepting SSHv1 and allow password authentication. -- confusing error message when connection via ssh fails, because host key verification failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
