------------------------------------------
Oh, the password is 'letmein' for the keys with a passphrase.

> I can only get Jenkins to talk to Gerrit's SSH connection if the key file has
> no password.
> 1. Use ssh-keygen to create a key with a password
> 2. Configure Gerrit Trigger with that key and its password
> 3. Test Connection
> > Bad SSH keyfile or password
> Jenkins.log:
> > 09-Feb-2012 12:43:18
> > com.sshtools.j2ssh.transport.publickey.SshPrivateKeyFile parse
> > INFO: Parsing private key file
> > 09-Feb-2012 12:43:18
> > com.sshtools.j2ssh.transport.publickey.SshPrivateKeyFile parse
> > INFO: Private key is not in the default format, attempting parse with other
> > supported formats
> 4. Clear the password: ssh-keygen -f .ssh/id_rsa -p -N ''
> Note that the Proc-Type and DEK-Info headers have gone.
> 5. Test connection (without clearing the password!)
> 6. Succeeds. Log still complains about non-default format.
> 7. Clear the password in Jenkins.
> 8. Test connection
> 9. Still succeeds, Log still complains about non-default format.
> This took me ages to nail down because supplying a password to a no-password
> key file doesn't fail.
