And unfortunately that does not always work either... I've just found that there is a problem which prevents Twisted-conch from loading certain private key files.. Here is the upstream bug I have created: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5496
Until that is fixed, Winswitch cannot use your private key if it has a passphrase. That, plus the fact that pageant does not seem usable outside putty leaves us with very few options at present :( Antoine _______________________________________________ shifter-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.devloop.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/shifter-users
