Were bthe keys ftped to your system in ascii or binary format. They need to be transferred to your system in binary format to keep the encoding correct. Check the keys again. They might have got corrupted.

I've tried solving this before, but failed. I won't stop this time until this works. These are the commands I execute: -------------------------------- bash-2.05b$ exec ssh-agent bash bash-2.05b$ export CVS_RSH=`which ssh` bash-2.05b$ ssh-add Enter passphrase for /home/frans/.ssh/id_dsa: Identity added: /home/frans/.ssh/id_dsa (/home/frans/.ssh/id_dsa) -------------------------------- Running `ssh-add -l' in the current shell gives: -------------------------------- 2048 2e:f5:49:d6:21:a0:50:83:1e:a4:fd:90:66:5a:f5:76 /home/frans/.ssh/id_dsa (DSA) -------------------------------- Now, running `ssh -vvv [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2> ssh.log' gives "Permission denied (publickey)." The full output is attached, ssh.log. This is how my .ssh/ directory looks: -------------------------------- bash-2.05b$ ls -alFh .ssh/ total 30K drwx------ 2 frans users 136 May 17 19:38 ./ drwx------ 81 frans users 5.0K May 26 10:00 ../ -rw------- 1 frans users 1.3K May 17 18:28 id_dsa -rw-r--r-- 1 frans users 1.1K May 17 18:28 id_dsa.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 frans users 15K May 26 09:49 known_hosts -------------------------------- Before identifying any problems, you should know that I manage to *commit* with CVS over ssh to another server, so something with my ssh setup seems to be right. In my .ssh/known_hosts file, the server I'm having trouble connecting to has "ssh-rsa", while my files are "DSA" -- could this have to do with it? However, the server I can connect to is also "ssh-rsa", so that seems to rule it out. What is wrong? One might argue that my public key is corrupt on the server side, but I sent it as an email attachment(with the same MUA) in the same way to the admins of both servers. I would really appreciate help on this, I've run out of ideas. Let me know if I can supply anymore info.
