RSA key problem.
I get this when trying to ssh into Debian from my Mac.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
05:1f:2b:e8:8b:be:61:39:34:5b:06:4c:17:df:95:9e.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/beeee/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /Users/beeee/.ssh/known_hosts:6
RSA host key for 192.168.0.4 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

What caused this?
Don't know what to do about it either.
The problem isn't with the Debian machine it's with the Mac.
The Mac expects a different RSA fingerprint from the Debian machine for some reason.
But nothing changed to cause this.
I know that if I were to change the netconfig of the Debian box, the key changes and this will happen.
But I didn't change it.

It was as simple as typing "open .ssh" into terminal then deleting the 'known_hosts' file, close terminal reopen it and ssh into the remote machine.
