problems with ssh authentication

[Samuel Buttigieg]

Hello all,

I solved the problem.

I used the method explained below with an addition which I came up with last
night.
I added a dsa key along with the rsa key

and changed the line: *IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa*
                            to* IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa*
*
*
before i went to sleep and this morning it worked!

However I kept the *.kde.org
<http://kde.org/>and user name unchanged.

Strange tough that there seems to be no commonly working method.

Any ways thanks for you replies.

Regards,
Samuel
