Harald, I'm not seeing the behavior you see either -- if I replace a host
key with another one in known_hosts, I get the correct man-in-the-middle
message.
Exactly, I verified that too. But I actually first made a mistake by
deleting the 'ssh-rsa' and not copying it from the other host entry
which made the line invalid and the message was the same as for first
contact with the server. So I wonder if Harald did the same mistake.
