iPod touch ssh -l root error

[WizzKid]

Hey Guys,

Well I got to step 16: http://www.touchdev.net/wiki/Jailbreak_Guide

I have down everything else, but when I type: ssh -l root your.ipods.ip.address (I inserted the right i.p. address) I get this error message:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
78:ca:e0:df:bf:aa:c5:60:ab:08:b9:2f:f3:9f:2b:51.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/***/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /Users/***/.ssh/known_hosts:2
RSA host key for your.ipods.ip.address has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

Could someone give me a simple answer please, as I am really worried!

Thanks in advance,

Download oynx and set it to display hidden files.

Navigate to Hard Drive -> Users -> Your Username -> .ssh and delete known_hosts

Try Again.

I've tried that, and .ssh is nowhere, I have searched spotlight for it aswell!

Also searched for known_hosts and still nothing

Your screenshot shows otherwise. Its there.

My screenshots

I have done all the steps!

Doesn't look like you've got OS X to display hidden files using Oynx. Or have you?

Ok, now I have done it, thanks very much!!!!

Thanks guys for your help

I'd suggest dropping into a terminal, you wont need to show the hidden files/folders. A 'cd /Users/<insert username>/.ssh/' will get you into the directory and then do 'ls -la' and if its present (which it is ) do 'rm -fr known_hosts'.

Type 'exit' to get out of the shell.... and I'm hoping that you are a little familiar with terminal. If not, just dont delete (rm) anything else.

just type this in your safari address bar:


/Users/your_username_here/.ssh/known_hosts


It will open that folder...
