Ok, I got rid (moved to a safe place) of ~/.ssh/known_hosts. This happened:
norman@hubble ~/.ssh $ ssh nor...@www.firebirdsql.org The authenticity of host 'www.firebirdsql.org (62.141.46.210)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is 88:5e:b0:80:96:c0:e2:89:f8:52:a4:d8:a1:bc:9b:5f. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'www.firebirdsql.org,62.141.46.210' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. Permission denied (publickey). norman@hubble ~/.ssh $ ssh nor...@www.firebirdsql.org @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ The RSA host key for www.firebirdsql.org has changed, and the key for the corresponding IP address 78.47.172.252 is unknown. This could either mean that DNS SPOOFING is happening or the IP address for the host and its host key have changed at the same time. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ 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 91:3e:7e:28:ff:be:a5:c1:1d:f2:e1:bf:7c:ff:10:e6. Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in /home/norman/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending RSA key in /home/norman/.ssh/known_hosts:1 remove with: ssh-keygen -f "/home/norman/.ssh/known_hosts" -R www.firebirdsql.org RSA host key for www.firebirdsql.org has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed. Something weird is going on if you ask me. Especially as I pinged www.firebirdsql.org about 5 mins ago and got this: norman@hubble ~ $ ping www.firebirdsql.org PING www.firebirdsql.org (78.47.172.252) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from static.252.172.47.78.clients.your-server.de Then, just now, I tried again and say this: norman@hubble ~ $ ping www.firebirdsql.org PING www.firebirdsql.org (62.141.46.210) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from exaybachay.de (62.141.46.210): icmp_req=1 ttl=53 time=27.8 ms No wonder ssh can't keep up, the IP seems to be changing every couple of seconds! There can't be a load balancer here can there? Either way, I'd assume that the IP would remain constant! This doesn't help! norman@hubble ~ $ nslookup www.firebirdsql.org Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.firebirdsql.org Address: 78.47.172.252 Name: www.firebirdsql.org Address: 62.141.46.210 Cheers, Norm. -- Norman Dunbar Dunbar IT Consultants Ltd Registered address: Thorpe House 61 Richardshaw Lane Pudsey West Yorkshire United Kingdom LS28 7EL Company Number: 05132767 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
