Have you already registered in the Account System?
Apparently not, I'm trying to do that now but I am now getting:
SSHv2 Public Key (attach your ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file here) (Invalid SSH key):
None of my Fedora5 boxes are working and the iMac I use at home is not connected to the Internet -- so I'm stuck here using PuTTY on Windows XP.
Are the SSH2 dsa file formats not the same?

As long as the key is created properly, they'll be almost compatible. The Account System will look for a valid user@hostname comment in the key. Don't ask me why, but without such a comment, it will fail. The comment can be easily added using a text editor. At the end of the key, following the '=', adding a user@hostname bit will most likely allow the key to work.
