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.
