[Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 64, Issue 9

Wed Aug 29 04:58:08 EDT 2012

Hi,

If you connect an XO to a different school server, you will get an known 
host error. The solution is to use the Terminal activity and enter:

cd (cd with no parameters goes to the user's home folder).
rm -rf .ssh/known_hosts
ssh admin at schoolserver

You should get a question whether to continue or not. Respond yes.

After this, you should connect to the new schoolserver normally. I have 
to do this several times a day because I have a production server for 
content development and a test server for working with the server software.

Note: OLE Nepal's solution to the re-registration problem is to register 
the XO every time it connects. Redundant connections cause no problems. 
In fact, if you reflash a laptop, it automatically registers the new 
public key!

Tony
