[Twisted-Python] Conch examples give me host key related errors

[Amber "Hawkie" Brown]

Hi,

This is most likely because of a security change I made a few versions ago, where conch will no longer use a set of default, hard-coded SSH keys.

You may want to do something like https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/trunk/src/twisted/conch/manhole_tap.py#L149 <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/trunk/src/twisted/conch/manhole_tap.py#L149> , and add a key yourself -- we should update these examples to add this, so that they run out of the box again.
