Hi,

on
http://savannah.gnu.org/faq/?group_id=11&question=How_do_I_configure_my_SSH_access.txt

If, while (for example) you try to write on your download
area, it asks you for a password and not a passphrase,
it means that your key is not recognized. It can be a
matter of time (the cron job...) or, generally, it means that
your key is not a correct SSH1 RSA key.

That's incomplete. For me it was necessary to setup my
~/.ssh/config like follows:

Host subversions.gnu.org
Protocol 1
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
ForwardX11 no

Before explicitly specifying the IdentityFile I was always
asked for the password - now I'm asked for the
passphrase and everything works.

Regards
Ralf

I'm not sure if we must add the following. Normally, the server
fordid the ForwardX11 without consequences on the connection.

Did you changed your /etc/ssh_config ? It's unusual to be forced
to reset this setting to the default value.

If you didn't changed it, is it your own computer, and what is the
distribution?

Yes you are right - both problems were caused by
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
