Error in ssh:// protocol handler.

[Evan Carroll]

In the event you get files by using an ssh://username@computer URI, you will find that if the servers rsa key changes on the remote machine, rather than giving the user the typical console caveat about the man-in-the-middle attack, it fails, claiming:

The rsa key easily change, as in the event of a live cd lab, in which they are constantly in flux.

--START DIALOG BOX
Nautilus cannot display
"ssh://[uri location]"

Please select another viewer and try again.
--END DIALOG BOX

A remedy is of coarse to delete the coresponding ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, but the dialog box should be more informative of the error at hand.

The typical console caveat is include for reference:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ 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.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
ff:bd:00:27:27:db:f8:4a:6d:2f:cf:25:ef:15:07:df.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/ecarroll/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /home/ecarroll/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for 192.168.0.105 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

Thanks for the bug report, but this is the same as bug #41738.
