- Description
To reproduce, setup a new client server setting under Known Hosts on the InterTiki master.
All works fine. Then modify the key for the setting, and you will find that login now fails with Invalid Server Key message.
The reason why this is so is because the "key" is used as the "key for the preference setting" and also at the same time used for the "key to determine if there is such a setting for that server". So obviously it cannot function for both these uses robustly if it can be changed....
