You want to set ssh_options[:keys], which can be an array. The :host_key option says which kind of key you want the remote host (the host you are connecting to via Capistrano) to use, and you almost never care about that.
However, note that Capistrano doesn't use Net::SSH when connecting to your source repository--only when connecting to the destination host. Thus, you'll need to make sure that CVS (or whatever SCM you use) is using the right key to get at your source repo. That configuration is out of Capistrano's hands. - Jamis On Jun 2, 2008, at 3:11 PM, David K. wrote: > > I've been trolling over the internet for days trying to find a > solution to a problem I'm having at work.
