Why does Fugu say @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @?

You will get this warning whenever the machine serving as hydrodictyon is changed, which will happen once or twice per year. Fugu's warning is designed to make you think twice about connecting to hydrodictyon because the identity of hydrodictyon has changed. To stop this warning, choose Fugu > Preferencess... from the main menu, then click the Known Hosts tab. You should see an entry that looks like this

hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu.137.99.88.31

Select this entry, then press the Delete button, and finally press the Save button before closing the Preferences dialog box. Now when you attempt to connect to hydrodictyon, it will present a different warning (The authenticity of host...Something is odd. Are you sure you want to continue connecting?), but it will at least let you continue connecting if you press the Continue button. Your Fugu client will now download a new host key from hydrodictyon, which it will use each time you connect to verify that you are indeed connecting to hydrodictyon (at least until hydrodictyon is changed again!).
