Agreed Scott, I have been using OpenSSH for many many years, since the first port to Linux, and I never knew about this (pretty cool) way of removing old keys.
So in addition to adding the text "on line" to the error message, I would also agree that adding a line after that suggesting that the user can remove this old key after verification by running 'ssh-keygen -R $host' would be a great help to discoverability of this feature. -- Removing the offending host key when a server updates should be easier https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/662068 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
