I need keys to log on to the servers at work using ssh. On windows using putty the private key file works fine. But i can not get it to work with os x. I have tried renaming it to id_rsa and putting it in the .ssh folder, and i've tried using ssh-add. Both when using ssh-add and when trying to log in after putting the id_rsa file in the right i get asked for a passphrase, but it won't accept the passphrase i used when creating the keys.

What to do?
