Move this file out of the way and try ssh again. In the best case, it will just ask you if it's OK to add the new hosts to the file. At worst, it will still complain. If that's the case, move the old file back in and edit the IPs listed to the new/correct ones. Try again. With DHCP, the IPs in known_hosts are likely going to be out-of-date allot, unless you time your DHCP leases carefully and are rigorous about which machines get what IP and when. For this reason, I like to use static DHCP (I know, it sounds contradictory but it's really quite useful in these situations). By tying the IP a machine gets to its MAC address, I can be assured that a particular machine (with a particular network card) will always get the same IP on my network. This way I get the convenience of DHCP (for my laptops) and the stability of static IPs. :-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
