Do you see a symptom related to my problem?
Hi Michael, I think the hex value discrepancy is significant, but I'm not yet sure why the value changes. The private key filename looks the same. When I run into problems like this, I first start by eliminating the application connecting through ssh and just try a standard ssh connection like so: ssh -vvv -l <username> <hostname> You may also want to add "-i ~/.ssh/id_rsa" to the command line to see if that changes anything. If you authenticate successfully with that command, then check the ~/.subversion/config file for suspect entries in the [tunnels] section. Finally, if all else fails, I run commands through truss or strace to see if there are any strange errors generated by system calls, like a missing library or config file, or an unexpected chdir() or chroot().
