Hi,
You could simply remove your known_hosts file from your .ssh directory.
When you then ssh into the machine it will behave like it is the first
time you connect.
If you are worried, just move ~/.ssh/known_hosts to your home directory
and try connecting.
If it does not work, you can always move it back.
Regards, Willem

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First delete the outdated key since it won't work any longer, then login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

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,
Kare
