The "Host key verification failed." message from an SSH client usually means that the SSH key on the server has changed. The security of the SSH protocol rests in trusting the server's key -- that's why SSH clients insist on verifying and accepting the server's key (showing you its fingerprint) when you connect to a server for the first time. Then the accepted key is typically cached, and next time you connect to that same server (using the same hostname!) your SSH client checks to see the fingerprint of the key presented by the server matches the cached one for that server, and if the server's key suddenly changes, the SSH client assumes a possibility of the MitM attack and refuses to proceed. I'm not quite sure what you're doing in your particular case (I mean, on which side the SSH client is failing, and the matter is further complicated by the fact some Java program is involved in the process (I recall Hudson is something like a CI server, right?)). But I think I gave you some clue for further research. For OpenSSH, you usually use `ssh-keygen -R <hostname>` to remove the cached entry for the server <hostname>. For PuTTY, it's a matter of deleting an appropriate entry from HKCU\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\SshHostKeys -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
