First delete the outdated key since it won't work any longer, then login again and a new key will be added for you by the external server. ssh-keygen -r hostname should get that first task done. When you log in without a key you'll be asked if you want to trust the system and your answer is yes. That adds the new key and you're on your way. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order."
