Description Thomas Koch 2012-11-01 18:28:41 AEDT
SSH warns the user, if the public key of a host is different from the one in known_hosts.
Even long time SSH users don't know, that they can remove a key from the known_hosts file with ssh-keygen -R. They rather use self-made scripts to delete the line number indicated in the warning message.
Please add information about ssh-keygen -R in the warning message.
