+Generate an SSH @q{dsa} key pair. Enter the following at the

+@example
+ssh-keygen -t dsa
+@end example
+
+When prompted for a location to save the key, press <ENTER> to
+accept the default location (@file{~/.ssh/id_dsa}).
+
+Next you are asked to enter an optional passphrase. On most
+systems, if you use a passphrase, you will likely be prompted for
+it every time you use @command{git@tie{}push} or
+@command{git@tie{}pull}. You may prefer this since it can protect
+you from your own mistakes (like pushing when you mean to pull),
+though you may find it tedious to keep re-entering it.
+
+You can change/enable/disable your passphrase at any time with:
+
+@example
+ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa -p
+@end example
+
+Note that the GNOME desktop has a feature which stores your
+passphrase for you for an entire GNOME session. If you use a
+passphrase to @qq{protect you from yourself}, you will want to
+disable this feature, since you'll only be prompted once. Run the
+following command, then logout of GNOME and log back in:
+
+@example
+gconftool-2 --set -t bool \
+ /apps/gnome-keyring/daemon-components/ssh false
+@end example

+After setting up your passphrase, your private key is saved as

-After your membership has been activated and you've configured Git

+After your membership has been activated and you’ve configured Git
+to use SSH, test the connection with:
+
+@example

+
+SSH should issue the following warning:
+
+@example
+The authenticity of host 'git.sv.gnu.org (140.186.70.72)' can't
+be established.
+RSA key fingerprint is
+80:5a:b0:0c:ec:93:66:29:49:7e:04:2b:fd:ba:2c:d5.
+Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
+@end example
+
+Make sure the RSA key fingerprint displayed matches the one above.
+If it doesn't, respond @qq{no} and check that you configured Git
+properly in the previous step. If it does match, respond
+@qq{yes}. SSH should then issue another warning:
+
+@example
+Warning: Permanently added 'git.sv.gnu.org,140.186.70.72' (RSA) to
+the list of known hosts.
+@end example
+
+The list of known hosts is stored in the file
+@file{~/.ssh/known_hosts}.
+
+At this point, you are prompted for your passphrase if you have
+one, then Git will attempt a pull.
+
+If @command{git@tie{}pull@tie{}--verbose} fails, you should see
+error messages like these:
+
+@example
+Permission denied (publickey).
+fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
+@end example
+
+If you get the above error, you may have made a mistake when
+registering your SSH key at Savannah. If the key is properly
+registered, you probably just need to wait for the Savannah server
+to activate it. It usually takes a few minutes for the key to be
+active after registering it, but if it still doesn't work after an
+hour, ask for help on the mailing list.
+
+If @command{git@tie{}pull@tie{}--verbose} succeeds, the output
+will include a @q{From} line that shows @q{ssh} as the protocol:
+
+@example
+From ssh://@var{user}@@git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond
+@end example
+
+If the protocol shown is not @q{ssh}, check that you configured
+Git properly in the previous step.

+Encryption protocols, including ssh, generally do not permit packet
+fragmentation to avoid introducing a point of insecurity. This
+means that the maximum packet size must not exceed the smallest
+MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) set in the routers along the path.
+This smallest MTU is determined by a procedure during call set-up
+which relies on the transmission over the path of ICMP packets.
+If any of the routers in the path block ICMP packets this mechanism
+fails, resulting in the possibility of packets being transmitted
+which exceed the MTU of one of the routers. If this happens the
+packet is discarded, causing the ssh session to hang, timeout or
+terminate with the error message
+
+@example
+ssh: connect to host <host ip addr> port 22: Bad file number
+fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
+@end example
+
+depending on precisely when in the proceedings the first large
+packet is transmitted. Most routers on the internet have MTU
+set to 1500, but routers installed in homes to connect via
+broadband may use a slightly smaller MTU for efficient transmission
+over ATM. If this problem is encountered a possible work-around is
+to set the MTU in the local router to 1500.
