 Is there a bug, or just a warning message that says the
 new key is not cached? I'm using PuTTY 0.54 right
 now and it works great.

Ditto - PuTTY has been rock-solid for me. I use it currently on Win2K  WinXP. 
If you're having problems using PuTTY the problem is likely elsewhere.

But as this is the FreeBSD mailing list, you can most certainly use the ssh 
client here as well: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One diff I've noticed: In the case of a changed key, PuTTY's default is to 
issue a warning, and allow the user to decide whether or not to continue the 
connection; the OpenSSH client's default is to abort the connection.

 I googled looking for other clients and found secpanel
 which sounded good but it requires
 /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/tk84 which appears to be
 broken arrggghh!

 Can someone please point me to either a good
 alternative SSH client for FreeBSD or help me to
 overcome these problems to install either putty or
 secpanel?

Why don't you use just the ssh client that comes with the base system?
Log into your FreeBSD box and type
  ssh hostname
to connect to any other system.
