I am trying to setup my WinXP to deploy a rails app to slicehost using  
deprec, just following the nice tutorial from this link  
[http://crackthenut.cracklabs.com/deprec2-your-slice-from-windows/](http://crackthenut.cracklabs.com/deprec2-your-slice-from-windows/) , but  
I am getting an error in the step “2.3 Create a new user on the slice to  
do your deployment with”.

since here everthing was ok, I double checked everthing. The cap deprec  
add user command creates the user, but it seems to failed to config my  
public key to the server.

I am looking for a way to get this working, deploy from windows, I  
choose slicehost to use deprec.

The instructions ask to install deprec2 and cap2, but maybe I should  
use deprec1.

so, my questions are … what´s going wrong? and Should I try  
something diferent instead of using deprec?

# Here was I did:

C:\config\_slices\>cap deprec:users:add USER=root HOSTS=67.207.142.104

- executing `deprec:users:add’  
Enter userid for new user |root|  
cunha  
Should this be an admin account? |no|  
yes  
I’ve found an authorized\_keys file for cunha. Should I copy it out?  
|yes|

Enter new password for cunha

I think the error msg wasn´t clear. The error is that:

“Permission denied - config/ssh/authorized\_keys/cunha \> (Errno::EACCES)”

I fix this issue, I put my public key file in a wrong folder. So, this  
command works very fine… now, I must config my SVN server to go  
further.
