Help regarding accessing GCC repository in another machine.

Help regarding accessing GCC repository in another machine.

[Kumar, Venkataramanan]

Hi administrator, 

(Snip)
You have restricted (not login!) ssh access to the system so if at some point you wish to update your ssh key, you can do so with the following
command:

    ssh gcc.gnu.org appendkey < publickeyfile

This will append 'publickeyfile' (usually ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub or
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to your existing allowed ssh keys
(Snip)

My account name: vekumar@gcc.gnu.org

I have Write after approval access for the gcc repository. 

I wanted to use another machine to check out the GCC SVN repository. The machine which I used earlier is down for some maintenance.

On my new machine I tired

 ssh gcc.gnu.org appendkey < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

But I am not getting any response.

Can I get my keys replaced manually?


The below is the content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from my home folder in the new machine.

I can't help but thinking maybe you just missed a difference in
login names (and without this bit config'd in .ssh/config), so
you'd instead need:
 ssh vekumar@gcc.gnu.org appendkey < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
