Upgraded the Server

Hi,

I just upgraded the iRATE server host from Debian etch to lenny.  I
rebooted a couple times, so iRATE's daemon was down for a little bit,
but it seems to be running OK now.

The upgrade process generated new ssh host keys for the server.  If
you try to log in, and the old public key is in your
~/.ssh/known_hosts file, ssh will sternly warn you of a
man-in-the-middle attack and refuse to connect.  To fix this, delete
the line in your known_hosts file starting with the server's IP, which
is 81.171.42.140.

It wanted to generate new keys because a bug was found in the random
number generator used to generate the old keys, so they were
vulnerable to attack.

Mike
