Getting access to the code repository

We're using subversion for version control. The repository is on one of the ECLab servers and is not publicly accessible. In order to get access you need to generate a public/private keypair for ssh.

On your virtual machine run the following command:

	ssh-keygen -t dsa -b 2048

When prompted about where to store the keys, accept the default location. (".ssh/")

Don't include a passphrase unless you want to type a lot while working with the code.

This generated two keys, a public and a private. You need to send me the public key. It will be something like "/home/student/.ssh/id_dsa.pub". Email is fine.
