My ssh connection works fine.
svn+ssh works fine on linux.
So the issue must be something to do with the subversion client ... my guess is it's not picking up the ssh configuration from ~/.ssh for some reason, but I haven't figured out how/why that can be the case. I also don't see how a problem with the command-line client could also effect the TortoiseSVN stuff ... which I configured completely independently using Putty stuff rather than OpenSSH stuff. That's two different ssh implementations being used and both giving the same error.

Maybe this will help:

export SVN_SSH=ssh -l rfm -i ~/.ssh/your_key

Thanks ... but I've just now got it working, and I'm inclined to stick with what I've got.

I edited 'C:/Documents and Settings/richard/Application Data/ Subversion/config' and added a line to explicitly specify the path to my mingw32/msys copy of ssh ...

'ssh = $SVN_SSH C:/msys/1.0/bin/ssh.exe'

I don't know what the built-in/default configuration was doing, but whatever it was, it didn't work on my machine. Possibly something stupid like setting the PATH to some default value which contains neither my mingw/msys version of ssh nor its own inbuilt one?

Have you checked that using plink gets you an authenticated connection?

I think I did, but I can't swear to it ... it's a while since I tried the putty/plink/pageant route ... to tell the truth I'm happier with the familiar openssh stuff.

Incidentally, are you running any firewall software on your machine? I've come across some which rely on the process name for permissions. I've also come across virus-scanner/security tools which don't play too nicely. Suspect them as well.

No .. I do my firewalling on a separate router.
