Have a look in /home/faheem/.ssh/authorized_keys on bar. You'll probably find the line ends in '...gnf5t78t= [EMAIL PROTECTED]' or something like that. Change it to '...gnf5t78t= /home/faheem/.ssh/identity' - doesn't matter if /home/faheem/.ssh/identity doesn't exist. That will probably make it work. This seems to be a weird bug that doesn't affect most people, just selects occasional random victims to confuse the @$#% out of, like me, and one or two others on this list. > Please feel free to cc any replies to me at > [EMAIL PROTECTED] I feel free, but do you actually _want_ CCs, or just don't mind them? -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
