[Buildroot] Eric's offline again.

[Ulf Samuelsson]

Eric set up an account for me at svn.uclibc.org a few months ago, but all my login attempts fail.

I followed the instructions at http://buildroot.uclibc.org/developer.html to generate
a public (id_dsa.pub) and a private key (id_dsa), both stored in <homedir>/.ssh.
I generated a key without a passphrase, but now when I understand more
I would like to have a new key with a passphrase.

Eric said that he made the account to only rely on id_dsa.pub without a password, 
but when I log in:

$ svn list svn+ssh://ulf at svn.uclibc.org/svn/trunk/buildroot

I am asked for a password and I am stuck.

Eric told me the last time that he was busy, and I have not seen any
replies on my sporadic cries for help from him.
=====================
Should I know the password? Is there a default, or is it part of the key or what?

I would like to know if there is something I should be doing different to be able to log in?

Is there anyone except Eric that can set up the account?

Best Regards
Ulf Samuelsson

Are you running "ssh-add"? And is your ssh-agent running in the
background?

Thanks, ssh-agent was running, so the thing missing was ssh-add.
Maybe it is worthwhile to update the http://buildroot.uclibc.org/developer.html
to say that 
* you should add a passphrase when generating the key.
* ssh-agent should run
* ssh-add <homedir>/.ssh/id_dsa
