ptitfred/magrit — Issue #6: checkSSH routine must handle host signature change

When the server lost his certificate or renew it, the next ssh connection will throw a warning and ask the user to revoke the current host definition in the user's ssh hosts file.

The checkSSH routine (bash scripts) currently mangle this warning and silently fail with a "Couldn't reach the server" message without details.

At least, this message must be changed for this case and suggest the user to test the connectivity through direct ssh connection.

At best, this should print the actual message.
