Issue with scheduling distribution point replication

Hello everyone,
I am trying to re-schedule a replication of my master distribution point
to another server that used to work with a different schedule until
yesterday.
When I click "schedule Replication" in JSS Setup Utility I get an error
message that says:

The remote host identification has changed on the master distribution
point. Please edit or remove the file located at "MY_REPLICA" in admin's
home directory at:
/private/var/root/.ssh/known_hosts

Where "MY_REPLICA" is my secondary distribution point

I have tried to edit that file but could not find it.
Is the error message misleading?
Everything else seems to work fine, I can ssh to the server and I can
connect/edit that secondary distribution point from JSS Setup Utility, it
setting up the schedule that does not work.

I am missing something obvious?
Many thanks for your help
Ciao
Carlo

    A period before a file or folder makes it invisible. You will need to use

    Hello and thank you for your reply.
    Although I am not a scripting guru at all, I was aware that was an
    invisible folder.
    The fact the error message point to /private/var/root/.ssh/known_hosts
    whereas I am using the local admin on the server to connect with ssh and
    the file is at ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

    Anyway I thought it was JSS fault but obviously is ssh's
    I get an error message on the master sever secure log saying "sshd[7392]:
    in pam_sm_authenticate(): Failed to determine Kerberos principal name."
    therefore I have to fix the replica...

    Thank you again
    Cheers
    Carlo
