I got the warning message shown below and would like to know if it is possible/permissible to edit my /home/joe/.ssh/known_hosts in a text editor. Here are the first few characters on the long lines now in my known_hosts file: 192.168.0.73 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABI ... box582.bluehost.com,66.147.242.182 ssh-rsa ... 192.168.0.75 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABI ... localhost ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAA ... 192.168.0.71 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABI ... vsiq.com ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAA ... 98.102.104.47 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAAB ... 192.168.0.80 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABI ... 192.168.0.91 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABI ... 192.168.0.64 ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2V ... What exactly do I need to put in there to correct the reported problem? ------- WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
