Thanks Eric, |

The "------BEGIN" string is I believe from the private key generated using |
| 22 |
ssh-keygen. If looks like this: |
| 23 |
================================================= |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- |
| 26 |
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED |
| 27 |
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC, XXXXXXXXXXXX |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |
| 30 |
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX... etc. |
| 31 |
================================================= |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
where "XXXXX" is the hash of the key. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The public key starts with: |
| 36 |
================================================= |
| 37 |
ssh-rsa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX...etc |
| 38 |
================================================= |
| 39 |

As I mentioned the same ssh key pair seems to work fine with other servers. |
