Are you talking about this page?

As you report that is definitely wrong. It is impossible to grep vcs and have
it return cvs as it shows.

Thank you for your interest. Would you consider making a documentation patch
for it?  Here is a reference.

  https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToAdminThisWiki/

Could patches be discussed on the address@hidden mailing list
where things are easier to read and reply. Thanks.

Newer ssh gives a direct hint about the exact line that is the mismatched
finger and a hint about how to delete it directly.  Is that section even
useful anymore?  Should we just delete it?

Offending ECDSA key in /home/rwp/.ssh/known_hosts:91
  remove with:
  ssh-keygen -f "/home/rwp/.ssh/known_hosts" -R foo
ECDSA host key for foo has changed and you have requested strict checking.

Also the name depends upon the exact name you are using to access the ssh://
protocol hostname.  For example it might be cvs but it might be git.  And it
might be {cvs,git}.savannah.gnu.org or it might be one of the aliases
{cvs,git}.sv.gnu.org.  And where I am listing {cvs,git} there is also bzr, hg,
and so forth.  It has many names.

> Also, you may want to include '-Emd5' in that and other 'ssh-keygen -l'
commands, because more modern sshs will show unreadable SHA256 fingerprints by
default.

Unfortunately -E is a very new option and isn't yet available in most software
distribution Stable releases.
