Now I have a new situation, the linux OS was reinstalled (it crashed after a bad restart) on the remote linux box where I was working with rsync. I have reconfigured everything back to the way tit was before and I am now getting a new error with the following command:
# rsync -zav --progress <remote-server-ip>:/random/file-or-directory /random/file-or-directory @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ 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 e4:00:85:b2:5b (I deleted a section from this value before posting). Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:1 RSA host key for <remote-server-ip> has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed. rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(453) [receiver=2.6.9] And when I run the command to access my daemon on the remote server it just sits there and does nothing for about 2 minutes, and then it drops the connection with this error. I have enabled rsync on the network services again through yast and all that. I have checked "/root/.ssh/known_hosts", and the folder doesnt exist under the "root" directory. I also installed ssl and the ssl-devel again on the server. Is there anything that I am missing so far? How can I go about creating/editing this file so I can get rsync up and running again? ----- Computers are like air conditioners.
