About

This error occurs when connecting to a remote server via ssh. Applications which use ssh or the ssh kioslave, such as Kate, may also display it.

The solution is to edit ~/.ssh/known_hosts, removing lines which may be referring to the host causing the error. It may not be clear which line(s) are responsible, but it's okay to remove any lines you don't recognize; the worst that will happen is that ssh will ask you to authorize connections to servers you had already authorized.
