problems with ssh authentication

[Samuel Buttigieg]

Hello fellow coders/hackers

I have recently been trying to push changes to git via ssh however I ran
into problems and I tried various options
which none of them seem to work. I was talking to Boemann and informed me
that all of his students have similar
difficulties and so I decided to start up a thread where we can toss around
a few ideas. This is what I did:

1.) I generated the keys using: ssh-keygen -t rsa
2.) I saved them to the default ~/.ssh location
3.) I uploaded the public on kde identity
4.) I set ~/.ssh/config as: Host *.kde.org
                                                User buttigieg
                                                IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
5.) I set .gitconfig as:
[url "ssh://git@git.kde.org/"]
      insteadOf = kde:
[user]
      name = Samuel Buttigieg
      email = sambut1987 at gmail.com
[push]
      default = current
[color]
      diff = auto
      status = auto
      branch = auto
      interactive = auto
      ui = true
      pager = true

6.) I also sett he access rights:
chmod 700 $HOME/.ssh
chmod 600 $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 600 $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

7.) waited two days for key to be synced

However each time I try to do a git push origin master
or ssh -v git.kde.org

I get: Permission denied (publickey) all the time.

*Can someone who has or had a similar problem throw some ideas?*

Thanks for your help,
Samuel
