                    known_hosts
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: thomas at koch.ro
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: 6.1p1
         Component: ssh

SSH warns the user, if the public key of a host is different from the
one in known_hosts.
Even long time SSH users don't know, that they can remove a key from
the known_hosts file with ssh-keygen -R. They rather use self-made
scripts to delete the line number indicated in the warning message.
Please add information about ssh-keygen -R in the warning message.
