Gitolite - remote: FATAL: fingerprinting failed for 'keydir/'

Question

I installed Gitolite in my system to manage the repositories. When i try to add any of the client machine\'s public key, am getting the error \"remote: FATAL: fingerprinting

Answer 1

This message can also be seen after adding SSH2 (Putty) key to gitolite. In that is the case a simple conversion from SSH2 to OpenSSH key can be done this way:

ssh-keygen -i -f ssh2.pub > openssh.pub
