+====ssh error: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!====
+This error occurs if the keys used by the host are different from that used last time you connected to it.
+You can use
+  ssh-keygen -R badhost
+to remove all keys associated with the host //badhost// from your ''known_hosts'' file.
+This is safe to do because the new host key entry will be added back in next time you ssh in.
+If you want to look at or edit the ''.ssh/known_hosts'' file, it is located in the ''.ssh'' sub-directory within your home directory on the //Lengau// cluster.
+For example, after logging in:
+<code bash>
+cd .ssh/
+ls
+authorized_keys  id_ecdsa  id_ecdsa.pub  known_hosts
+</code>
+Once you have changed into the ''.ssh'' sub-directory you can then use an editor (e.g. ''nano known_hosts'') to edit the file and delete the bad line.
