                                    int port,

        The actual verifier method, it will be called by the key exchange code on EVERY key exchange - this can happen several times during the lifetime of a connection.

        Note: SSH-2 servers are allowed to change their hostkey at ANY time.

        Parameters:
        hostname - the hostname used to create the Connection object
        port - the remote TCP port
        serverHostKeyAlgorithm - the public key algorithm (ssh-rsa or ssh-dss)
        serverHostKey - the server's public key blob
        Returns:
        if the client wants to accept the server's host key - if not, the connection will be closed.
        Throws:
