[Linux-disciples] first question

[Nirmal Trivedi]

OK, so I'll inaugurate myself with a question:

I've just started having difficulty retrieving my mail off of bostoncoop
(using fetchmail). I've also just started having to type my password when I
ssh into bostoncoop, even though I've been using a public-key authentication.
Are these two problems related?

Here's my .fetchmailrc log
--
fetchmail: starting fetchmail 5.9.11 daemon
Host key verification failed.^M
fetchmail: socket error while fetching from mail.bostoncoop.net
fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET)
