hello,
im having some trouble.. my hosting company recently upgraded all their servers and now i can't ssh into my account anymore. Getting this warning:
WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!

i need to add their new rsa host key to the known host file, but all the error message gives me is the fingerprint. ?

You should remove the host's public key from your known_hosts list entirely, then when you reconnect, it will ask you if you'd like to add the host/key pair to the list of known/trusted hosts.

Kind of annoying that they regenerated a key when they upgraded... I'd think that would cause a lot of support calls for them.
