Hi,
I tried: ssh-agent ssh-add (entered passphrase) ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] And Bang ... It is still asking for the passphrase ... Ok, whatsoever ... I stick to entering the password by hand. The funny thing is, that I created a key today for the first time, but was accessing this repository for months without entering the password manually. I wasn't working on that project for couple of weeks and now it is not working anymore. What I changed is: SuSe 8.0 -> Debian Stable/Testing/Unstable (same effect, no matter what version I use) and upgrading from eclipse 2.0.1 to 2.1 M4. Any of this changes or some change at sourceforge cut me off.
