Same problem happened once before on a Fedora 10 installation; I'm ashamed to say that I did not note the solution.

The remote system is F10; same as before.

Two systems are connected via wireless. Connection is good. Previously, ssh -l user sys prompted for password and connected. Today (after wakeup from hibernate), ssh complained about the remote system's key. This has happened before and was always resolvable by removing the old entry in .ssh/known_hosts and trying again.

The problem is that now, after entering user's pw, I find that I'm logged in to the originating system.

Shutdown, power off/on, reboot does not affect the problem.

Nothing from dmesg.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like it might be DNS, you are logging into yourself (why host ID changed), and not the other system.

BTW: ignoring "host ID changed" in ssh is a really bad idea from a security standpoint. Now even when you do connect to the right machine you will have a key mismatch. You *do* save the known_hosts and authorized_keys file when they change, right?
