Generally people use the built-in ssh client, which uses the standard ~/.ssh/known_hosts mechanism to record known hosts. "ssh-keygen -R" for each of a list of local hosts being renumbered would be a nice touch, if you can distribute a script to do the work to your users. If you are distributing a script (including by showing it to people) you might want to also run “ssh-keyscan” on each of the Macs to generate a new known_hosts for each user. There are the obvious issues with automation there, but they might be no worse than the way keys are approved as correct by users on a manual basis.
