I am confused now, the remote server doesnt have a know_host, since the client is on my desktop. But I have never needed to use a .ssh/known_host on the server.
Did you mean to say the .ssh/known_host on my client (
desktop?).
UPDATE: I tried to do this on my desktop -- client and still got the following error:
Code:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Permissions 0660 for '/home/jza/.ssh/id_dsa' are too open.

bad permissions: ignore key: /home/jza/.ssh/id_dsa
Enter passphrase for key '/home/jza/.ssh/id_dsa':
This of course didnt happened before doing the process.
