If your ssh doesn't complain long and loud about a change in key you 
have your config wrong somewhere. I get about half a screen when the sig 
changes. I also config to fail the connect if it doesn't, because I use 
ssh for automated operations, login without password and execute exactly 
one command specified in authorized_keys.

Check your ssh config.
