    Hi,

    I’m installing the 1.2 version of Pandora. Once I’ve installed properly the components of the Pandora Server, I try to run one agent resident in the Pandora Server (meta-agent I think is called).

    I got the following problem:

    __________________________________________________________________________________________
    [root@localhost pandora_Agent_NEOTERIS]# ./pandora_agent_daemon start
    Pandora Agent is now running with PID 13536
    [root@localhost pandora_Agent_NEOTERIS]# The authenticity of host ‘192.168.2.167 (192.168.2.167)’ can’t be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is f9:42:21:b4:45:c6:2a:03:00:0a:4c:12:02:2c:f7:e5.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
    Host key verification failed.
    lost connection
    _________________________________________________________________________________________

    My problem is I don’t know how to use the ssh-keygen command, to stablish properly the ssh communications between server and agent. Could you help me or give me some documentation explaining how to use the ssh-keygen to set up properly the ssh communications between server and agents?
    Thank you in advanced.

    These question is the “manual” authentication for hostkey. You need to set the first connection manually. If youre going to exec pandora agent under ROOT user, you need to execute:

    ssh pandora@pandora_server_hostname

    It will ask you:

    The authenticity of host ‘192.168.2.167 (192.168.2.167)’ can’t be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is f9:42:21:b4:45:c6:2a:03:00:0a:4c:12:02:2c:f7:e5.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

    You answer YES manually to this question: This is for validate authenticity of the other side. If you have copied the public key to /home/pandora/.ssh/authorized_keys correctly you must logon automaticaly…. the next step is to run pandora agent.

    I’m really sorry, but I haven’t any experience in this issue. You said:

    “You answer YES manually to this question: This is for validate authenticity of the other side. If you have copied the public key to /home/pandora/.ssh/authorized_keys correctly you must logon automaticaly…. the next step is to run pandora agent. ”

    I don’t have the directory .ssh created in /home/pandora and I don’t know how to create the file authorized_keys. I don’t know how to create the public key neither. Could you tell me how I do this.

    Thank you very much.
