so since Septemberish I have been using the following commands to login remotely to desktops

Code:
xinit -e ssh -XC (compuername)@(computer ip) gnome-session -- :2

however recently this has stopped working. On the combination of 7.1 and 8.04 AMD64/X86

I am quite confused. I have tried various methods of trying to get this to work again. I have reinstalled OpenSSH server on them all but it seems that something in one of the recent updates has borqued this up good for me. It was working not even a week ago and then it just stopped on all 3.

Anyone else experience anything wierd like this recently?
 
Probably has to do with the regeneration of ssh keys... try deleting /home/yourusername/.ssh/known_hosts (or something like that, it should be obvious).
