Asked by Gunnar Tryggvason

I took former pc and turned into mythtv-box. I get following error when I try to ssh-remote connect to the mythbox and I dont know howto correct the "known_host-file", see below.:

gunnar@gt-kjallari:~$ ssh gunnar@192.168.1.100

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
29:20:8c:aa:d4:30:fd:16:24:e3:b1:c8:32:c8:2a:e2.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/gunnar/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /home/gunnar/.ssh/known_hosts:2
RSA host key for 192.168.1.100 has changed and you have requested strict checking.

if you are sure this is safe, delete your known_hosts file, or remove the offending line (its one of the two).
