Re: MacCvs error!

I did what you said in the command line and i found out that my .ssh
directory only contain a "known_host" file. i dont have the id_dsa
file. it also didnt ask me for the ssh-key password. only my password
for the ssh server. or are they the same thing? 

I have to download the SSHKeychain. I will try this also.
