i dont know how to connect i have it as root then / .... then when it asks for password i put alpine but it says permission denied ..is there something im missing i have sbsettings installed
 
You're probably not connecting to the same network.

You have to be on the same wirless network for SSH to work.
 
no i was on the same network.. i just didnt click add this password to keychain. after that everthing worked fine after that .
 
Try removing the known_hosts file in the .ssh folder. Terminal commands are as follows...

cd .ssh
rm known_hosts

I know that sometimes it has to generate a new key to work.
 
I'm having the same problem with Fugu, and the terminal fix isn't working. :( Any other suggestions?
 
Try to access the phone via terminal.

type: ssh root@your ip here

Now it says that my password doesn't match the password in Keychain, and when I go to the keychain there isn't a place to change it.. :confused:

edit: Okay, so I guess what I meant to say, is that I don't know what password to change in the Keychain. I'm new to this and confused...help?
p.s. sorry to the OP if I'm hijacking or anything!

Go back to Terminal and type:

cd .ssh (press enter)
rm known_hosts (press enter)

Then proceed to log back on the the phone as usual. This should fix the invalid host key.
