It doesn't say someone IS eavesdropping, it says they COULD be. The server is announcing itself with a different key to what your local account thinks it should have: either you aren't connecting to the right system (this is the eavesdropping warning - someone could be hijacking your connection to redirect it to their own system: this isn't likely, but it's possible) or an admin changed the key on the server and everything is okay but you just need to get a copy of the new key. You need to verify a copy of the host key on the server (e.g. log into the console directly, not over SSH, or talk to an admin) and update the host key on your local account in ~/.ssh/known_hosts Kris --ibTvN161/egqYuK8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6rATTWry0BWjoQKURAp4DAKDnsqtD86O1jtgMrm1iVz++ppjbvACfcmru W4lsgDJGFmL+QdQ/FhgpZd8= =Cy9l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ibTvN161/egqYuK8-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
