Problem with ssh public keys

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Jailbreak your iPhone
2. Create a .ssh directory in your home directory
3. Install an authorized_keys with your public key
4. Restart the phone
5. independence will not be able to connect anymore to the phone.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
independence assume password based authentication. It tries to connect and 
hangs I suppose 
because it never gets the password prompt. I can connect without any problem 
using the 
terminal.
independence should handle public /private key.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
IPhone 1.1.1 updated from a jailbreaked iPone 1.02 independence 1.2.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Yeah, 99.99% of iNdependence users won't know how to set up automated SSH 
authentication this way.

Anyways, I'll see what I can do with regard to handling this within 
iNdependence, but there are more important 
fish to fry right now (ie. iTunes 7.5).

I just ran into this myself. It's a default OpenSSH behavior and non-trivial to 
fix without, basically, writing your 
own SSH client. I would suggest that rather than "fixing" this that you simply 
make a note in the FAQ about 
renaming the key temporarily, As you point out people who are going to run into 
this are extreme corner cases 
and should be able to handle renaming the key while using Independence. 

Thanks again for all your work.
