One of the sites I support has changed hosting companies. As a result, the

The fix, of course, would be to let ssh create a new fingerprint. To do
that,
I need to delete the fingerprint for the old host. As the host names
aren't
in clear text, I have no idea how to go about this. I'm sure it's easy,
but
I've looked in the man page, and it isn't obviously documented.

Can anyone offer a suggestion. I'd rather not just delete the known_hosts
file
and let ssh rebuild everything as I move forward, but if I have to, I
will.





Just checked mine...

It is in clear text.. IP first....

Yours is diferent??
