In terminal I am getting this message after this command "nick-talsmas-computer:~ talsma$ ssh -l root 192.168.1.101" :

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
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
97:85:2b:6b:08:f8:21:03:b0:2d:fc:9b:e6:37:8a:2b.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/talsma/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /Users/talsma/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for 192.168.1.101 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.


How do I fix this?
 
You have to edit the .ssh/known_hosts file. You're going to need to delete the entire for that IP/hostname.

It sounds like the machine you're trying to ssh into has had hardware change.
 
Yea that happens when the security certificate expires. I've had it happen with my machines. You can delete out the entry for that machine from the file "~/.ssh/known_hosts" You can edit the file in any text editor. Once deleted it should give you the option to accept the security certificate.
 
remote host ID has changed.

I have beaten my brains out trying to get around this problem. I CMD+SHIFT+G to .ssh and delete the file, still get the "WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!" I even "ssh -1 frontrow@10.0.1.199" to add the current key and it fails. I cannot get this script to run on my apple tv.
