I have become a bit frustrated with trying to deploy my application,  
every time I try to deploy using rake remote:setup I get this error  
message:

rake aborted!  
fingerprint b7:df:i8… does not match for [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com)

I am using net-ssh 1.1.1

Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

I was having a similar problem and posted about it at  
[http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/110933](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/110933)

Check your .ssh/known\_hosts file and see if the server you’re trying to  
connect to is in there, you might need to delete it.

Yup I ran this on my Mac:

unset SSH\_AUTH\_SOCK

… and then ran the rake remote:deploy command and it worked like a  
charm!!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! On to the next issue 🙂

I spoke too soon. I was able to run “rake remote:deploy” and it asked  
for my password so it was able to connect. However if I try to run  
“rake remote:setup” I still get the fingerprint error. I am deploying  
from my Mac PowerBook to a Linux test server. Frustrating. Thanks.
