Answer 1

rmate stopped working for no apparent reason. Turns out I had tripped the 'man in the middle' check. I saw this warning when doing ssh --

\@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

In my case, this warning was expected so I ignored it. This may not apply for you, so verify host identity. Didn't realize this line at the end of the warning --

Port forwarding is disabled to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks.

No wonder rmate stopped working. Verifying host identity and then clearing out offending entry from ~/.ssh/known_hosts made the warning go away and rmate started working again.
