Fix Offending key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts file

Category : Uncategorized

Because I use Virtual Machines quite regularly and install and uninstall different Linux OS’s I have been blighted by the fact that a new server may get the same IP address as an uninstalled server. As a result when I try to SSH into the box I’m warned that the SSH Key has changed and it will no longer let me log in.

I then have to remove the offending key from my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file.

Very often though (if you use ssh a lot) this file will have numerous keys in it.

If you need to remove an offending ssh key type the command below into your terminal (don’t forget to change the number 6 below to your corresponding key)

perl -pi -e ‘s/\Q$_// if ($. == 6);’ ~/.ssh/known_hosts
