One more quick question after I just did a search.
There seems to be a command line option that turns off strict host key
checking.
Where do options go for ssh?
or should I run that command with ssh-keygen instead?
if so, what is the syntax?
Thanks,
Karen

First delete the outdated key since it won't work any longer, then login

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.

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?
Thanks,
