So, this is not a password prompt at all, which explains a lot. Looks like it expected one host at an address, and got another one. Hmm, one scenario would be, if you locally paired on your home network, and went to work (for example), there might be a computer at work with the same address. If it also has ssh, this would happen. Can you post the relevant part of your ~/annex/.git/config for this remote? I'm particularly curious if it decided it had to hardcode the IP address, which would make this kind of collision more likely than if it had been able to use the LAN's DNS, or mDNS for the remote. I think I can fix this easily by making git-annex always use StrictHostKeyChecking, both when transferring to remotes, and when syncing. -- see shy jo
