O.k., I tried again from the beginning.
Now the "MD5-error" is gone. But I cannot get access to the
mentor-upload-server. What do I do wrong ? This is my output:
------------ snip ----------------

I generated a public key today and used this for mentors-server, as requested
and verified it, too.
Everything went fine.
