What I did wasn't as straightforward as deleting a file...in fact I didn't even directly edit it. So just to make sure we're on the right page, I'll just write up what I did...

So first I made sure I wasn't running dropbear SSH using this site:
http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/arc...pod-touch.html

There were no traces of dropbear at all...so I figure it might be openSSH. But first I deleted installer.app and reinstalled it. Then I reinstalled OpenSSH (along with everything else) then tried going into Terminal again, at which point I got this screen instead:


Typing in [I]rm /Users/your.os.x.user/.ssh/known_hosts [/i] like it says in this MMi guide (scroll down a bit to see what it says about the error) only gave me Permission Denied so that's when I cleaned out the known_hosts file using this command, found from the Apple Discussions site: http://discussions.apple.com/thread....sageID=5881063. Check out the last post by Brainslice using the echo command. I am not sure what happens if you do that command without getting the error in the image I posted above.

Sorry this is a bit long winded. I just can't guarantee what I did applies to your problem as well, but I hope it might give you some ideas.

Just a note guys, I have unstuck this thread, as a easier to follow guide (perfect really) has been posted as a joint effort between W9cae and laughing bird. Check it out here:

Upgrading to 1.1.2 in baby steps

Feel free to continue discussing in this thread if you wish

Hey Trinidad,

You are the man!!!

Your instructions worked for me.


Many Thanks!!!

So now that people have used 1.1.2 for a few days, what are the benefits of upgrading? Any bugs, crashing issues etc?
I have been putting off upgrading from 1.1.1...is it worth the effort?

The known hosts issue and teh timeout issue are separate.

But if you want to clear the known host file, open Terminal, then type;Then clear the entries using Control-K, then Control-X to exit and Y to save, then Return to save the file.
