ssh 3.2.3p1 key problems

Hi

I've removed our 2.5.1p1 openssh version from our system. In all hpux 11i I add no problems in installing 3.2.3p1.
Now I'm doing the same to some Hpux 11.00 systems, and I'm getting a lot of problems.
First i started getting the "Could not load" message for protocol 1, I've created then the RSA1 key for the host. Now I'm getting the following message:
bash-2.03$ ssh host1
Warning: the RSA1 host key for 'host1' differs from the key for the IP address '192.111.11.113'
Offending key for IP in /home/src/.ssh/known_hosts:47
Matching host key in /home/src/.ssh/known_hosts:50
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

If I choose yes, I'll connect to the machine.
I've tried to take out from the known_hosts file the entries for this machines, but I'm still getting the same.

Any Ideas?

Thankx in advance!!

Why not use 3.10 (3.1p1), I realize it's a "backrev" from 3.2.3p1, but at least the corresponding libraries are included?

You need to uncomment the type of key that you are using in your sshd_config file, if it doesn't know where to find the key, it can't load them at daemon start time.

Hi ... :)))
Thankx for your support, it is always welcome.
In fact the problem was really in the Known_Hosts entry. I removed the entry refering to the host, but I didn't realize that I had another entry with IP number of the machine.This is an offending key due to the facto of having to entries for the same machine with 2 different fingerprints.
In fact ssh 3.2.3p1 with tcp wrappers, didn't recognize my acient RSA1 key, and I just created another one.
After creating new RSA1 Key, i just did a cat /dev/null > /home//.ssh/known_hosts and solved the problem.
