[Planetlab-users] Re: SSH permission denied problem

[sri at iiitb.ac.in]

Yes, I have created a slice and assigned our own nodes to it and myself as the
user. (This is the first node in India and we are just starting up). 

I also waited for the whole of Sunday for the node assignment to propagate.
However, I'm still getting this "permission denied" error. 

Here is the transcript of "ssh -v iiitb_firstslice at planetlab1.iiitb.ac.in". A
similar report also occurs for planetlab2. 

The transcript says that it is looking for the private key in the file id_rsa.
My private key was in a file named identity. I tried copying identity to id_rsa,
but no luck with that as well.
