Hi, Donald:

  The file is not encripted, but it contains an encription key for
each remote hostname.  There is a line for each 'ssh' host that
you have sucessfully connected.  If the remote 'host' has changed
its encription key and you already have a line with the old
encription key, 'ssh' will fail with that message.

Solution:

  Use a 'text' editor and open /root/.ssh/known_hosts.
Delete the line that starts with the remote hostname.
Save and exit.  (or 'rm known_hosts')

'ssh' to that hostname.
Answer 'yes' when prompted.

HTH, Chuck
