From ssh-keygen:
-R hostname Removes all keys belonging to hostname from a known_hosts file. This option is useful to delete hashed hosts (see the -H option above). Regards. On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 5:03 AM, Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@novell.com> wrote:

Secondly, we have switched the .ssh/known_hosts file to "hashed hostkeys". This means, the known_hosts file no longer lists the hosts or ip numbers in readable form, but in hashed form.
So how to delete only an entry, say if a machines key has changed?
This change is to avoid that worms, if they ever infect your account, to use this file to find out "known hosts" to which to try to login next and so try to stop a worm infection of e.g. your servers.
