Details:

Good afternoon, Savannah Hackers:

My ssh public key is already registered at Savannah, which was one of
the first things I did when I made an account.  Whenever I instruct cvs
to checkout my repository at _cvs.savannah.nongnu.org_, an ssh
connection is established automatically; however, today I decided to
connect to the repository via ssh directly (without using cvs).  It
asked for my password, which I thought would be the same password I use
with `scp' to send files over to the Download Area of GNU Savannah... I
was wrong!

It asked me three times for the password, I typed it in, and it replied
with: "Permission denied."  The last response was: "Permission denied
(publickey,password)."  I was attempting to log in via ssh, so I can
delete an empty directory which used to contain a duplicate file.  I
needed to do this via ssh, since [cvs can't remove empty
directories][0].  I have read the official documentation for [ssh and
savannah][1], but I still can't figure it out?  I have no idea if this
has anything to do with the Savannah server migration, because this is
my first time trying to connect with ssh directly.

Last thing I should note: Connecting to _cvs.savannah.nongnu.org_ via
cvs works just fine, for some reason?  So... cvs can connect as
pegzmasta, but pegzmasta can not connect as pegzmasta?  I'm confused.

Attached is a log file (seeing that it is over 2000 lines) containing
the verbose output of me successfully connecting to
_cvs.savannah.nongnu.org_ via cvs; attached is another log file of my
failure to connect via ssh after several attempts (it no longer asks for
my password); some debugging information is provided below of my failure
to connect via ssh (it asks for my password):
