Just wanted to add, another option for you is to disable strict host
key checking on the command line or through your own personal ssh
configuration file. Below I show how you can use both:

* Command line:

ssh root at node1-1 -o "StrictHostKeyChecking=no"

* Your own ssh configuration file:

mcgrof at console.sb6:~$ cat .ssh/config
StrictHostKeyChecking no

This method is highly discouraged as it can enable man-in-the middle
attacks for other hosts you might want to log into.

  Luis
