Are you using the openssh export of your key? I.e. that beginning with ssh-rsa AAAAB3N... not -----BEGIN RSA ... (I think that if you send the former it is automatically converted, but better to make it simpler) > Also, while I'm here, since I have a space in my user name, should I > be logging in as "Russell Blau", "Russell_Blau", or "Russell\ Blau"? For ssh you should use your shell username, which will be different than your “normal” username. _______________________________________________ Labs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/labs-l
