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 ...

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?
