[Hidden-tech] Broken public keys

The keys I generate on my Mac are unusable. I always get, "incorrect passphrase supplied to decrypt private key." This happens whether or not I generate them with a passphrase. This is the process I use:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -N mypassphrase -f my_id
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Your identification has been saved in my_id.
Your public key has been saved in my_id.pub.
The key fingerprint is: etc etc

Then to verify:

ssh-keygen -y -f my_id.pub
Enter passphrase: mypassphrase
Load key "my_id.pub": incorrect passphrase supplied to decrypt private key


Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

Thanks,
Greg
