Waw, this is a very exhaustive answer, and I thank you very much for
this.
How will have to do some reading.
One thing is for sure, I find the known-hosts in de userdir on windows
but there are no entries added and I do not find anywhere the dsa or
rsa or whatever keys.
I removed all the keys in /etc/ssh/ and
indeed the keys were recreated.
Yes, that is the original problem, the host keys changed.
But Anita continues this difficulty and Putty never did.
Anita has no "problem," it is warning you that the host has changed.
Trying to stop the warning instead of fixing the problem is like taking
the battery out of the smoke alarm instead of finding the fire!
Must have to do something with this 3DES.
It has to do with the system being hacked.
I don't understand how Putty can login because there aren't any entries
in known_hosts under windows which are referring to the hosts I'm
logging into. ???
That's why putty can't detect that there's a problem, because it doesn't
have the *correct* values, and so doesn't know that there is now an
incorrect host key machine at the end of the socket.
Putty is using ssh2. So if the key of the remote host is not found in
known_hosts on the mswindow station, why does nobody complaints? When will
the key of the remote host be added in this file known_hosts?
following this doc here after your assumption is not correct, or do I
understand something wrong?
If you reinstall, the reinstalled system creates a new set of
identification keys. Any clients who had connected to the system with any
of the OpenSSH tools before the reinstall will see the following 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.
