[SunHELP] Copying ssh keys from windows to blade 1500 running Solaris 2.9

[Grindell, Joan M.]

Hoping for Help.

I've searched the internet and tried all kinds of things on the blade.

I brought up a new blade running Solaris 2.9 with Sun's ssh package.  I
ported my public/private key pair to the server, moved the private key to
.ssh/id_dsa and the public key to .ssh/id_dsa.pub.

I then performed ssh-agent $SHELL
Whenever I perform ssh-add and give it my passphrase I keep getting 'bad
passphrase:'

I'd greatly appreciated any help.

Thanks,
Joan
