Answer 1

SOLUTION:

1- delete from "$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts" the line referring to the host towards which is impossible to connect.

2- execute this command: ssh-keygen -R "IP_ADDRESSorHOSTNAME" (substitute "IP_ADDRESSorHOSTNAME" with your destination ip or destination hostname)

3- Retry ssh connection (if it fails please check permission on .ssh directory, it has to be 700)
