host key fingerprint verification failed when converting a linux machine

I am using converter 6.0.0 to convert a physical linux machine to vm. I have getting the following error repeatedly. It always stopped at 3% after 3 minutes

 

msg = "A general system error occurred: # XYZ.mit.edu SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.3

--> # XYZ.mit.edu SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.3

--> # XYZ.mit.edu SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.3

--> The authenticity of host XYZ.mit.edu can't be established. Host key fingerprint xx:xx:xx:xx:c7:5f:23:34:d7:2c:79:7e:77:92:3e:e6 verification failed.

-->  (return code 1)"

 

I have spent many hours on this but could not figure it out. I have tried a different physical linux machine, and got the same error. I have no problem logging into the physical machine XYZ.mit.edu outside of the converter. The converter contains plink program under C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone, and I can run plink to the physical server XYZ.mit.edu by store the fingerprint in cache and it connects fine.

 

I have no idea where the SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.3 in the error message comes from. The physical server XYZ.mit.edu runs OpenSSH_5.3p1. Here is the entry of /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the physical server


# cat sshd_config | grep -v \#

Anyone knows how to work around this error?

Thanks very much!
