[cosmo-dev] Debian vulnerability fallout

Hi folks

A serious bug with ssl key generation on debian systems was recently  
disclosed:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html

This effected nearly all of our servers, as we are primarily debian  
based. I've gone and updated the appropriate packages and regenerated  
host keys on the appropriate servers to limit our vulnerability, but  
several loose ends remain.

The most obvious consequence of this change will be a connection  
failure from ssh clients as a result of the new host keys. This  
problem can be fixed by clearing the appropriate entries in ~/.ssh/ 
known_hosts or the corresponding file on a windows machine.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Also, please respond to this message on chandler-dev at osafoundation.org  
instead of cross-posting replies.

Thanks,

Travis
