Also, if you have provided a different filename for the key, SSH (and
thus CVS) won't recognize it. You have to add following to ~/.ssh/config

host mplayerhq.hu
IdentityFile yourfile


I'd also mention than the comment can be changed without any regards and
is irrevelant (so i.e. nobody gets scared because it's invalid email
