Thanks everyone for your help.
It must be his computer as all the computers I usually log in from are all
fine. I am still quite new to all of this but we all have to start somewhere
:)
Cheers,

Hello,
The SSH error is usually caused by the SSH server (your machine) being
reformatted, or having SSH uninstalled and reinstalled, or have the
public/private keys regenerated for some reason. have you recently made any
changes to SSH, or reinstalled your system??
It could also happen if he has been making changes to his
"~/.ssh/known_hosts" file.
HTH...
Richard.

Thanks for your help Guys.
It now says this:
wtmp begins Wed May 7 13:21:47 2003
I think that is what had happened. I am new to this and this just looked
dodgy to me!
A friend also has ssh shell access to the box and got the following error
message when connecting to the same my box:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ 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 RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
51:bd:cd:2e:6a:b7:35:b9:54:33:a8:e2:9a:57:95:0d.
Please contact your system administrator.
I don't get this from any other computers so is this just his computer?
Thanks

Check if your program have rotated the logs...
cd /var/log
ls -l wtmp*
and, check in /etc/cron* or do a crontab -l (in user root)

I have run chkrootkit but nothing was found.
I have never had this before. Am I being paranoid or is someone trying
to
cover up their tracks?
Thanks
