Eclipse 3.0.1 and cvs 1.11.17

[Joyce Li]

We recently upgraded one of our cvs servers to version 1.11.17 (from
1.11.4).
I couldn't get the extssh to work from Eclipse 3.0.1.  The
authentication failed with the following message:

=======================================================
The authenticity of host 'testcvs' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is e5:fe:8e:12:k2:47.....
Are you sure you want to continue connecting?
=======================================================

Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

The following combination works:

Eclipse 3.0.1 and cvs 1.11.4
Eclipse 2.1.x and cvs 1.11.17

According to the Eclipse 3.0.1 readme file, it was tested with
1.11.16.  What's changed in 1.11.17 that may cause this problem?

Thanks,
Joyce
