Details:

Hi,

I'm having a SSH problem connecting to the CVS from Windows. I've not done
this before so expect a stupid reason why I can't.....


I have generated a public key (for user: barnraiser) and that's on Savannah
and working.

I've generated a private key that locally seems to work

I am trying to use PuTTY and Plink to connect using SSH so that I can check
the authentication. I use:

plink -ssh -2 -i C:\priv_key.ppk -l barnraiser savannah.nongnu.org


I get back "server refused our key"

This key is standard PuTTY key

I tried exporting the private key as openSSH and SHH.com, but the server
refuses those as "unable to use private key (OpenSSH SSH2 private key)

I generate the keys using puttygen.exe, selecting "SSH2 DSA" key with 1024
bits.


I'm out of options, desparate and have zero knowledge of SSH authentication:)

*thank you in advance for any assistance*

Tom
