    SSH Login Problem

    I have reinstalled my vps from solusvm and now when i'm trying to login using SSH its showing the followign error
    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
    @ 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 a host key has just been changed.
    The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
    f2:34:3e:2c:bb:6a:3d:75:df:9d:1b:74:f5.
    Please contact your system administrator.
    Add correct host key in /Users/user/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
    Offending RSA key in /Users/user/.ssh/known_hosts:5
    RSA host key for 208.xxx.xxx.xxx has changed and you have requested strict checking.
    Host key verification failed.
    Now how to fix it??
    i have root access on my dedicate server. Please give me step by step suggesion..

    In your local system, open " /Users/user/.ssh/known_hosts" ( path here is as per the error message ) and then remove line number 5. Try to connect again to the server and it will ask to add the server to known list; type "yes" and hit enter. It will then connect to the server fine. The RSA key stored in the known_hosts file on your local system is changed corresponding to the server ( it is normal after OS reload ). That is the problem here; following above instructions will let you to connect again to the server.

    On your local machine open your ssh client config file as root (usually in /etc/ssh_config or /etc/sshd/ssh_config) and comment this line:

    SendEnv LANG LC_*

    See if that helps!

    Open /etc/profile in a text editor
    Code:
    nano /etc/profile
    Add following line
    Code:
    export LC_ALL="C"
    Save the file: Ctrl + O
    Exit: Ctrl + X

    That should solve.
