Thanks much,
That has been my memory as well, offering to update, while warning of the risk.
Now I am being told that I requested strict checking.
Going to ask dreamhost to send me the new fingerprint..or whatever. Worst case can add it in manually.

Hi all,
Will aim to keep this simple.
is there an option with ssh from the command line that allows you to update
new keys for the known host list?
I ssh into my dreamhost office workspace from shellworld, as in
ssh email@email.thingy.
I provide the password, reaching the dreamhost shell structure for the
domains they host  on behalf of my employer.
dreamhost moved our services to a new server, changing our ip address, not
an issue, but also changing the fingertip keys <hope that is the correct
term, previously saved  for my access from shellworld..who seems to use a
strict  matching process of some kind.
My hope? is that there is an option that tells ssh to update the identifiers
used for known hosts?

I recall ssh offering to update the known_hosts file, while
warning of potential security issue.

To verify the fingerprint of the new host, in the past, I
emailed dreamhost support to send me the fingerprint.

Thanks,
Kare
