public/private key change/addition

public/private key change/addition

[Jan Beulich]

Hello,

since I didn't find any information on how to add another (or, if necessary
replace the existing) public key for write access to both binutils/gdb and
gcc, I'm hoping that this is an appropriate channel to get this carried out.

The new public key to add is

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEA3tTP3S5GrFiuMHYi+X2TYO5rGIhsd4V5L54FhkwvTqYfTrbnWz/k2iDKQJgEsXSdepmL+Y7c+upDLo31v7d4WZWPJ35Ob9KwEtIaXnmb3mZiMbsazLFOhdm5A+09lUn/yQML2ms6J4zxuiRnAgyO/B/I6appKStJAoSQECBZkuk= jbeulich@dus-dev-sles10d

Simply connecting through ssh doesn't appear to work (ssh terminates
after a minute or so without ever fully establishing a connection).

Thank you very much,
Jan

I have added the above key in addition to the existing one. Note that your
ssh connections to sourceware are not intended to provide you with a shell,
if that's what you were expecting - instead they are expected to be used
with cvs/svn/git/hg etc.

If you want to test if it is working, you can run "ssh sourceware.org alive".

Yes, I had hoped that I could help myself here rather than having to ask
someone to do the addition...

It's working fine now, thanks!

Actually, if you can already access sourceware, you can update your key via:

ssh sourceware.org updatekey < key

Which would replace or add the new key? Is this documented somewhere
that I have missed?

It would replace. It's documented on the GCC project's pages, but if it's
documented for sourceware then I don't know where. I'm not sure where I'd
document it even if I wanted to. For now, I'll add it to the new user
instructions I think.

Actually, it would add:

open(AUTHKEYS, '>>', $ssh_authorized_keys) or
        bye(LOG_ERROUT, "couldn't write to $ssh_authorized_keys");

Doh, I was looking at the tmp file evidently. I've updated the create-user 
script accordingly.
