[Wylug-help] SSH help requested

Some time ago I moved the server from CentOS 5 to CentOS 6 - and am
still occasionally finding things that I missed.  One of those things is
setting up ssh access to my server from the netbook.

In preparation for a holiday, my strategy was to be

Stage 1 - install keychain + password to the netbook, and test access
across LAN
Stage 2 - test installation from external connection.

Clearly I've missed something.  This worked well against CentOS 5, but I
wiped the drive completely when I did the install, so I'm working with a
new key on the server.  Here's what I'm seeing now from the netbook:

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 the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
df:df:a2:17:c3:f3:f4:8c:c5:e2:e3:83:ae:51:78:b3.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /home/anne/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this
message.
Offending key in /home/anne/.ssh/known_hosts:3
RSA host key for 192.168.0.40 has changed and you have requested strict
checking.
Host key verification failed.

I checked that I have correctly copied the rsa public key from the
server to the netbook's known-hosts file, and that it is owned anne:anne
perms 600.  I copied the netbook's dsa public key to the server's
known-hosts file and checked perms there.

What have I missed?

Anne
