heya,

...has anyone gotten anything like this?  It just started happening to 
me...

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@       WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED!          @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The DSA host key for cvs.gem.iem.at has changed,
and the key for the according IP address 66.35.250.209
is unknown. This could either mean that
DNS SPOOFING is happening or the IP address for the host
and its host key have changed at the same time.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
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 DSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the DSA key sent by the remote host is
4c:68:03:d4:5c:58:a6:1d:9d:17:13:24:14:48:ba:99.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/tigital/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of 
this message.
Offending key in /Users/tigital/.ssh/known_hosts:2
DSA host key for cvs.gem.iem.at has changed and you have requested 
strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
cvs [status aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages 
if any)

...wonder what to do?  Did the host key really change, or is something 
truly sinister going on?

l8r,
jamie
