How to setup a proper SSH .key #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I used the following command:

ssh­-keygen ­-t dsa

and got back a id_dsa.pub

your manual 2 specifically wants to use a .key to create the config file.

i can't seem to create the ssh key properly.. i keep making a .pub file..
could you please guide me towards setting up the key properly.

Thanks

I added some instructions to the distributed manual. In short: ssh-keygen 
generates a id_dsa.pub (public) and 
id_dsa (private) key. PPSS wants the private key for the -k argument.
