ssh `known_hosts' worry



I run woody, up to date with security fixes. The OpenSSH client and
server programs are installed.

In $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts, there is an entry for a site that I know
for certain that I have never accessed (a university in the UK that I
have absolutely no connection with).

How could such an entry get into the known_hosts file unless someone
logged in as me had connected to that remote machine via SSH?

I don't know if I'm more puzzled or worried ...

Jim
