That's what I thought... what I was really asking is "is the SSH key
saved somewhere else?" which you have answered. I should change my
code so that it stores the directory location of the key (or
something).

I've no problem with that... however, I would like to be able to test
my code first.

I'm not a savannah developer right now. If I'm going to make these
changes I guess I'd need to be.

But what I really want is somewhere to test this code, does savannah
have a testbed?
