Hello,

I have Capistrano 1.3.1 running on my Mac Pro and all is working well  
and  
has been for almost a year. However, I just got a new laptop as a  
backup  
and I’m attempting to set up Capistrano 2.2 on Leopard. I have  
Capistrano  
installed, I have done the capify step, and I have my deploy.rb file  
created  
(which looks just like the deploy.rb file on my other machine - it’s  
very  
simple). When I try to deploy I am receiving the following message:  
"Too  
many authentication failures for ". I am using svn+ssh. I  
can  
ssh to the server machine manually with no problems whatsoever. I have  
tried deleting the known\_hosts file. Does anyone have any idea what  
might  
be wrong or how I can go about troubleshooting this?

Thank you, Ken
