Summary ⇒ expect driver update to handle question about new/changed keys
Queue ⇒ Passwd
State ⇒ New
The expect driver using ssh as the transport may fail if the ssh key is not know or
has changed, etc. The driver should probably be changed to accomodate this as much
as possible (e.g. accepting the new key). It should _not_ be changed to accept a
changed key, as this would be a security issue.
The root problem is either the ssh configuration, or failure of the admin to setup the
account correctly, but there is little reason not to try to work around these issues in
the expect script, since expect makes it so easy to do this type of thing.
