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
13:d1:29:26:0e:f0:c4:f0:89:b8:a3:02:b1:2c:80:6f.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for 127.0.0.1 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

can someone help?
When you first install SSH (server) it creates a new private key for the server. So if this is a new (2nd) install of SSH for some reason, then you can just follow the instructions and delete the first line (line 1)in /home/user/.ssh/known_hosts.

But really you probably don't need to be ssh'ing to the root account on localhost? If you just want to become root, the the "becomeroot" package is probably what you're after and works on OS2008. (Which is the only thing relevant to this thread )
