How to set up your ssh access

You should have received a tarball containing the SSH private key to use for accessing your kernel.org account. Place that private key into your ~/.ssh directory, e.g.:

cp korg-username ~/.ssh/id_rsa_korg

You can change the key passphrase using ssh-keygen -p. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SSH KEY PROTECTED WITH A PASSPHRASE!

SSH client configuration

Your kernel.org account grants you access to two systems:

  • gitolite.kernel.org: for accessing your git trees (see gitolite)
  • kup.kernel.org: for uploading tarball releases (see kup)
Hostname Key Fingerprint
gitolite.kernel.org RSA b1:33:44:9d:3f:77:59:14:f8:05:d7:33:5d:b1:40:7b
DSA f7:ec:e1:24:17:2b:33:69:46:69:f1:41:99:1e:a8:90
kup.kernel.org RSA 9f:ab:65:9c:fd:4e:40:38:87:ba:c6:0c:b1:a8:95:fb
DSA 99:a3:9b:fc:78:c5:44:6b:3d:7d:4b:98:cc:60:31:06

Add the following entries into your .ssh/config:

Host gitolite.kernel.org
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_korg
  IdentitiesOnly yes

Host kup.kernel.org
  User [username]
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_korg
  IdentitiesOnly yes
