Hi Dan,
I've run into a problem trying to log in to ucimc.org. I generated a
public key a long time ago on ucimc.org, but now have forgotten the
passwd (damn!!!). Can you run me through the steps on how that key can
be deleted and a new one generated? I've got both id_dsa and id_dsa.pub
in my local user/.ssh directory (running mac OSX). Do I need to delete
them?
On the bright side, I guess these public keys really work for security
eh? ;-)
Thanks for the help.
