Salâm Turki,

My apologies for not answering earlier.

This means that your id_dsa key was found. Good news.

This is also good news, redhat host is known and is correctly authenticated.

Except for the last line, your output is similar to mine. From this point, you
should get the following output if things went on correctly :

I get a similar output except for the last line. When things go on smoothly, the
output should be like this :

----------------------------------------
debug1: Remote: Port forwarding disabled.
debug1: Remote: X11 forwarding disabled.
debug1: Remote: Agent forwarding disabled.
debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-dss blen 433

Welcome to rhlinux.redhat.com

This is a restricted Shell Account
You cannot execute anything here.

debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1
Connection to i18n.redhat.com closed.
debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 39 bytes in 0.5 seconds
debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 73.2
debug1: Exit status 1
------------------------------

I cannot explain why the connection is closed so quickly in your case. The best
thing to do in your situation would be to send an email to the maintainer of the
translation project, Sarah Wang sarahs at redhat.com, with the following
information as attachments :
1- your id_dsa.pub key file, this is your public key. (Don't send your private
key !)
2- the output of "ssh -v turki at i18n.redhat.com"

(this is what she asked for when I had connection problems)

I hope she will be able to find the origin of your problem.

Salâm

Mohammad
