what platform did you use to build your SSH keypair?
PuTTY on WinXP. I used that because it was already installed on my computer and I did not want to install something else if I did not absolutely have to.
perhaps, you should make them in somebody's Linux box and copy that to your computer or probably use LiveCD Linux, such as Knoppix to build your SSH (if they have openSSH package on it)
I know you are making a helpful and practical suggestion, and I appreciate it, so this next comment is not aimed at you.
I srongly object to the idea that I have to go find another operating system, or program, or person, to do something that I've already done following the instructions given.
I realise that I may eventually have to follow your advice... and then go through the long process of getting a new key through the OOo system so I can try to use it.
dont forget to add your private key in pageant or it won't work
I think I did that, but I have forgotten what I did and at the time I had no clue about what I was doing, other than following instructions that appeared to work. How can I find out if it's been added in pageant? What do I look for?
I think Putty-keygen doesn't make the same SSH keypair than the original openSSH does (Louis had write that in the SSH Guide and it is true)
Yes, I recall reading this and thinking that I might end up with a problem. Perhaps I have, but I don't know how to find out if that is the problem, or something else is the problem.
Does anyone know how to find out if the key itself is part of my problem?
