clear ssh hosts

Use this command to clear the known_hosts file.

This command clears all trusted relationships established with SSH servers during previous connections. When a client downloads a file from an external server the first time, the client stores the server keys in the known_hosts file. After that, other connections to the same server will use the server keys stored in the known_hosts file. In other words, a trusted relationship is created when a client accepts the server keys the first time.

An example of when you need to clear a trusted relationship is when SSH server keys are changed.
