[guardian-dev] odd problem with github giving me the wrong ssh fingerprint

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This evening I was trying to push some commits to github, and for about 10
minutes, I was getting the wrong SSH fingerprint from github.  I didn't seen
anything using traceroute and tcptraceroute, it was back to normal before I
could try other stuff.  This is what I was getting:

$ git push origin master
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@    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 a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
2e:93:0a:8a:de:d3:a8:e5:50:72:f2:3a:35:4f:ae:2d.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/hans/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending RSA key in /home/hans/.ssh/known_hosts:213
  remove with: ssh-keygen -f "/home/hans/.ssh/known_hosts" -R github.com
RSA host key for github.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
