ssh-keygen2. You will be prompted for a passphrase.
This may be any passphrase you'd like and does not have to be the same as the password to your inst account.
Example:
% ssh-keygen2

Key generated.

Private key saved to /home/aa/users/username/.ssh2/id_dsa_2048_a
Public key saved to /home/aa/users/username/.ssh2/id_dsa_2048_a.pub
The name of your key in the above case would be id_dsa_2048_a, which (in most cases) is the default name. However, be aware that your key may be given a different name.
In such a case, you may need to replace id_dsa_2048_a with your key's name in all future steps.
Remember your password! If you forget your password, you'll need to repeat this entire process.
.ssh2/identification file (if it doesn't already exist) and add the following line to it:
IdKey id_dsa_2048_a
(If the key you created in part 1 has a different name than id_dsa_2048_a, use that name instead.)
One way to do this (assuming you don't already have an identification file) is:
cd ~/.ssh2echo IdKey id_dsa_2048_a > identificationWarning: The above instructions will not work if there is an existing .ssh2/identificiation file.
In such a case, you should add the line using a text editor (like vi or emacs):
Convert your SSH public key file to the OpenSSH format
The key you created using ssh-keygen2 uses the IETF SECSH format, but SourceForge only accepts public keys in an OpenSSH-compatible format.
First, you will need to download OpenSSH or a key converter.
For your convenience, I've already compiled OpenSSH's ssh-keygen for Solaris (SPARC) and Solaris (x86).
(nova, star, solar, h30, h50, c199, quasar, pulsar, and cory are SPARC-based systems. rhombus, pentagon, po, torus, and the machines in 277 Soda are x86-based systems.)
You may need to run chmod u+x ssh-keygen-solaris-system to allow the program to be executed.
If you're feeling bored, you can instead compile OpenSSH from the source.
Executing the following commands should convert your keys:
cd ~/.ssh2
../ssh-keygen-solaris-system -i -f id_dsa_2048_a.pub > inst.pub
Replace system with sparc or x86 depending on the system you are using.
The above assumes you downloaded ssh-keygen-solaris-system to your home directory.
You may need to modify the path if you downloaded it to another location.
Add your OpenSSH-compatible public key to your SourceForge account
Go to the SourceForge website and log in to your account. Access your account options (my sf.net -> Account Options) and select [Edit SSH Keys for Shell/CVS]. Enter the public key in the text box. (Your public key is the text of the file .ssh2/inst.pub). Your entire key should be on one line!
