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 6d:b9:6d:9c:5d:34:41:eb:be:b5:27:70:31:07:88:4d. Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in /home/john/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /home/john/.ssh/known_hosts:3 RSA host key for a has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.
Right now I just want to be able to get and keep the two talking to each other, so anything that will do that. Security not an issue in the house AFAICT.
If security is not a problem, then you can just edit /home/john/.ssh/known_hosts and delete the line that starts with a's ip or hostname. Then ssh again. It will ask you again to add the host. This normally happens when you change the IP address of hostname of the remote computer.
