    Quote the error message, rather than paraphrasing it, so we know exactly
    what's happening. You have not made it clear what's going on, so I'm
    going to guess that you have previously also connected to the PIX with
    SSH, and now it's confused about the correct host key.

    [~/.ssh/config]

    host pix
      hostname <pix name or address>

    host linux
      hostname <pix name or address>
      port <alternate port>

    ... and let OpenSSH associate the host keys with the names "pix" and
    "linux" (or do it yourself with HostKeyAlias).
