ssh caches info on the servers that you connect to, and stores that info 
in ~/.ssh/known_hosts, so if you're getting that message, and you decide 
that there's no security problem (ssh giving you a false alarm) then 
just take your favorite editor onto that file, and edit out the lines 
that refer to the server.  It hasn't got any sensitivity to "Athlon" 
built in, but it's trying to help you out and tell you about servers 
that have info that changes alarmingly.
