CVS: Possible DNS Spoofing



Hi list,

I just tried to update my local CVS directories and all I get is this message:

> @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Is that problem related to the Alioth update David mentioned in the thread 
"Error commiting changes in CVS"? May I trust in that this is just an harmless 
key change?

Does somebody else have this alert?

Thanks!
