"Remote Host Key Identification has Changed" error. How do I fix this?

Submit a LOUD support request in the LCSEE Systems Service Center.

This happens when the key stored on the machine you are connecting to has changed. This is to alert you of a possible man-in-the-middle attack. To fix this error and connect to the machine, run this command from a terminal prompt:

CODE
$ rm ~/ssh/known_hosts

Or you could remove a specific Entry with the ssh-keygen command.
