Trying to change the ssh password

[Ironhorz]

I recently had to restore my phone after upgrading to 1.1.2. I originally upgraded from 1.1.1 where I had already changed my password from the default and here's what I'm getting in terminal when I try it:


Shawns-Computer:~ tolar_5$ ssh [email protected]
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.

e1:3f:7d:71:5c:f3:a2:f9:d5:46:d6:cc:c5:d1:c3:3b.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/tolar_5/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.

Shawns-Computer:~ tolar_5$


Sorry if this is a pretty simple fix but I've only had my mac for about a week now.

Thanks for the help guys!

in terminal enter

rm -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts

then try to shh into your phone

Thanks for your help, it worked!

Amazing! That worked for me as well. I couldn't understand why I couldn't SSH in anymore after the above events.

Cash - what exactly is that terminal command doing?

Thanks!

clearing out all ssh know host keys.

Cash,

I was having the same problem. I removed the 'known_hosts' file but I still cannot connect to my iPhone using Fugu or Fetch. Still getting the same error; 'Remote Host Identification' Has Changed'.

I restarted the phone, try removing the file a second time, nothing seems to help.

Thoughts?

because you need to use terminal the first time to generate a new key.

just ssh -l Root@iphone's IP adress, and you'll see the RSA warning window. Type yes, wait for a bit, then once you're logged on, you can use fugu.. whatever that is... I presume an FTP client (no, I'm not motivated to go to fugu.com).

Thanks for the quick reply.

Entering the command as you supplied it does not work. Terminal just displays the proper way to use the ssh command. ;-}

If I enter 'ssh iphones_ip_address -l root' then I get the ssh request to generate a new key. I enter 'yes' and ssh is happy. Unfortunately I still cannot connect from either my Mac's terminal or Fetch or Fugu.

Any other thoughts?

-------------------

Fixed it by again deleting the 'known_hosts' file from my Mac and then regenerating the key.

Thanks you both. I appreciate your help.

Hmmm.. I don't know what version of Terminal you're using. Are you using Bash?

ssh -l root@ip address has wored for me for.... 12? 15? years now... Dunno.
