Hi,
I'm about to upload mintty 3.4.7 but I'm getting a "Host key
verification failed." error.
Trying this on a new machine; I copied the whole ~/.ssh folder from my
old machine, something that used to work in the past. It still works
from the old machine (as confirmed by fallback for uploading mintty 3.4.6).
Does anybody have an idea what might be going wrong? Do I need a new ssh
key? (But porting the key worked before...)
What happens if you do `ssh cyg...@cygwin.com`? That'll normally point
out what the error is. I expect either (a) you've managed to not copy
over your `.ssh/known_hosts` file somehow, or (b) some of the files
you've copied over have the wrong permissions; my money's on the
latter. If so, `chmod 600 ~/.ssh/*; chmod 700 ~/.ssh` will normally
get things going again.
It was rather (a) which got fixed by ssh. Thanks a lot.
Thomas
