Answer 1

Works for me!

Error: Offending RSA key in /var/lib/sss/pubconf/known_hosts:4

This indicates you have an offending RSA key at line no. 4

Solution 1:

1. vi /var/lib/sss/pubconf/known_hosts

2. remove line no: 4.

3. Save and Exit, and Retry.

Solution 2:

ssh-keygen -R "you server hostname or ip"

OR

Solution 3:

sed -i '4d' /root/.ssh/known_hosts

This will remove 4th line of /root/.ssh/known_hosts in place(-i).
