  • 1.  REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED

    Posted Mar 28, 2018 09:27 AM

    okay, want to ask a stupid question...

    my esxi host has been re-installed so the authentication changed,

    when i use the command scp id_rsa.pub root@ESXisystem:/id_rsa-Client.pub to copy the rsa to this esxi,

    the error message occurred, as shown below:

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    @    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 a host key has just been changed.

    The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is

    f6:6e:d1:23:e8:d3:53:68:08:72:93:d6:78:ea:cd:ce.

    Please contact your system administrator.

    Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.

    Offending RSA key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:189

    RSA host key for 10.101.6.11 has changed and you have requested strict checking.

    Host key verification failed.

    lost connection

    the question is, how to add correct host key in  /root/.ssh/known_hosts ? just edit the file by vi?or?

    thanks in advance!

    You can manually add the ID, however I find it easier to just delete the entry in the known_hosts then ssh back into the host, this will add the correct entry.
