That is what I did, although not with a text editor. I have a hashed version of known_hosts file and unlike the non-hashed file, couldn't find the line to remove. The warning contained something that might be line number to *change* but I wasn't sure. That was why I was trying to find a way to do it "automatically" (ssh-keygen) than firing up vi and removing the line. The warning had following in it, is the :3 in the end the line number? Add correct host key in /home/foobar/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /home/foobar/.ssh/known_hosts:3 Thanks, /KS PS: please reply to list, I'm subscribed to it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
