Yeah! I just did what the first guy said to do and it worked. All I
did was removed the IP and then I attempted another ssh connection and
it asked to exchange keys. I said "yes" and the connection was
established.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove a host key and add a new
one to .ssh/known_hosts

I just recently reinstalled FC3 on one of my systems. I previously had
an ssh connection established, but after I reinstalled I imagine it
was wiped away. So my question is...How do I re-establish my ssh
connection to that host?

Is it as simple as going into .ssh/ and doing:
rm known_hosts



Don't remove the whole file, only the line where the key is for that
particular system. After your reinstall the system generated a new key,
but in the known_hosts file on the system where you initiate the ssh
connection there is still the old key. They don't match, so you don't
connect :)
