Could someone look into this?  We don't know what is wrong.

I have uploaded two RSA keys to Savannah using the web interface.
They seem to be accepted every time, also after proof reading the
key material and replacing all ambiguous letters: 0, O, 1, l, and I.

I have also checked, using "ssh-keygen -y -f key-path", that I do
in fact remember both pass phrases!


In order to access Savannah I have attempted at

   ssh -i key-path git.gnu.org       (Alfred suggested this.)

   git clone ssh://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/inetutils.git

Yes, my SSH client ties the correct key to "git.sv.gnu.org".
Both attempts end in a disappointing

   Permission denied (publickey)

The latter attempt asks for my pass phrase three time,
whereas the first command communicates a denial right off!

Whithout the ability to clone the repository, there is
no way I could push my ACK-ed changes back, so I must
somehow resolve this calamitym, if I should become
productive in the service of GNU Inetutils at all.


Best regards,
Mats
