+## Login Problems: `Improper ssh Configuration!`
+
+If you see this message:
+
+```
+--> Verifying valid ssh keys...
+
+Improper ssh configuration!
+Please reconfigure or contact TACC consulting for assistance.
+```
+
+This is most likely because you have modified your `./ssh/known_hosts` file.  The solution is to generate a new `.ssh` folder to clear any conflicting keys/logins.  
+
+1. Go to your home directory:
+
+	```cmd-line
+	$ cd $HOME
+	```
+
+2. Rename your `.ssh` folder to `old_ssh` to save the contents should you need to revisit them at any point: 
+
+	```cmd-line
+	$ mv .ssh old_ssh
+	```
+
+3. Log out of the system and then log back in.  This will auto-generate a new `.ssh` folder and key for you.

-This is most likely because you have modified your known hosts file to facilitate a no-password login. Let us try generating a new ssh folder to clear any conflicting keys/logins (you will still have the contents of your current ssh folder under a different name):
-
-1. Go to your home directory using the command:
-cd $HOME
-2. Change the name of your .ssh folder to old_ssh (so the contents are still accessible in old_ssh, should you need to revisit them at any point) using the command: 
-mv .ssh old_ssh
-3. Log out of the system and ssh back in, this will auto-generate a new .ssh folder and key for you. 
-Once that happens you can try making the change for a password-less login. Please let me know if that works for you or if you have any other questions.
