 To generate a GPG key, run `gpg --gen-key`, and `gpg --export -a <your email address>` to export the public key in a format suitable for attaching.  You MUST keep your private key secure; anyone with your private key can now get access to fd.o machines, and potentially compromise source code!  A strong passphrase is recommended, as is not keeping it on any public machines.  If a private key is found on a freedesktop.org machine, it will be removed from the keyring, and a new one will have to be created. 
 
-To generate an SSH key, run `ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo`.  Key type **must** be 'rsa': neither DSA nor RSA1 keys will be accepted.  This will put your new public key in `~/.ssh/mykey-fdo.pub`; to use it, add `-i ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo` to your SSH command line (e.g. `ssh -i ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo annarchy.freedesktop.org`), or create a stanza in `~/.ssh/config` like so:
