I just created a gitorious account, and I seem to be unable to publish
my public ssh key. I always get this message:

1 error prohibited this ssh key from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

* Key is invalid

My public key is as follows, exactly as I tried to paste it. What's
the deal?

ssh-dss

Hi,

Oops, I forgot about the "free form" comment you're allowed to add in
a keyfile (eg "git repos key for ...").I'll fix it up once I get home
from work shortly. Sorry about that, if your eager to get started you
can remove the "Git repository key for " part and leave just the
ben.c...@acm.org email there.

I'm trying to be strict when trying to validate the key a user inputs,
as it's part of the "soft jailing" I do with regards to what commands
the git user can run. I may or may not have to reconsider that
approach someday.

Thanks,
JS
