Version: unknown (using KDE 3.1.93 (3.2 beta 1), Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r2, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 If you try to connect via fish://remote to a remote machine and the fingerprint of that machine has changed in between but the old fingerprint is still in known_hosts, the connection will be aborted with the misleading error message "Could not connect to localhost". Took me quite some time to figure out the actual reason for that message (I suspected an error in kio_fish and didn't try to connect from the console :-/ )
I get a correct error message: "Could not connect to host x.y.z" It could be a bit more informative indeed.

I have been seeing this for quite a long time now. Today it happened again at least 2 times. And most of the time it makes me manually edit the known_hosts file. kio_sftp/fish should pop up with a window offering to delete the bogus entry from the known_hosts file and then re-add the new one, IMO. So... is this bug in kio or somewhere else? Thanks!
