Permanently added 'borg' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.It's perfectly possible that, when I made a boo-boo on transfering some files from my home directory a couple of days ago, I could have overwritten something. In fact, I think that's the most likely reason. Question is, though, how do I go about troubleshooting this? Should I delete the .ssh directory on the remote box so that I have to start afresh there?
Put simply, borg was not in your clientside ~/.ssh/known_hosts. When you said yes, it was added. There's nothing to troubleshoot about that, from now on ssh connects to borg will be checked against the signature stored now in your known_hosts, silently unless borg's signature changes (because it is another machine trying to fake you out, or because you reinstalled the OS on borg, etc).
