When I try to connect from an openVMS System, I got the message:<BR /><BR />warning: ssh2/ id_dsa_2048_a.: 4: parsing line failed<BR />warning: ssh2/ id_dsa_2048_a.: 5: parsing line failed<BR />warning: ssh2/ id_dsa_2048_a.: 6: parsing line failed<BR />...<BR /><BR />When I try to connect from a windows based PC it works fine. <BR /><BR />I used openVMS to generate the keys and the command I use to connect is:<BR /><BR />ssh user@system -i ID_DSA_2048_A.<BR /><BR />Does anybody know about this, or what I'm doing wrong???<BR /><BR />Thanks a lot.

So I connected to user@127.0.0.1 - but I got the warnings.<BR /><BR />After the warnings I got the prompt to login as the user setup in the ssh command.
