In what secret hidey-hole can a configuration file for the ssh server be found on the N900? Or what are the secret words to change it to password-only checking?

Since the PR 1.3 update and reinstallation of openssh on my N900, I have been unable to connect to it from the computers I was previously able to connect with:

~$ ssh root@xx.x.xx.xxx

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

It's in the message:

"Add correct host key in /home/xxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /home/xxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts:1"

Your host key has changed since installing PR1.3

to solve the problem, just edit file /home/xxxxx/.ssh/known_hosts, and delete first line. the file is in your computer.

then try to connect to your n900 again. it will ask you to add new host key.
