Permission Denied (Public key)

Yesterday I was trying to login fedorapeople.org but every time I was getting Permission Denied (Public key) error. First I thought may be my ssh is expire so I generate new one and again tried but same error, then I asked on IRC, pingou told me to debug ssh key using (ssh -vvv fasname@fedorapeople.org). Did  same but after few steps it's again showed same error. Then nirik told me to use ssh-add (ssh-add  <path of ssh key> ) and try to again debug and baNG I was on my remote machine. He told me the problem is that ssh-add doesn't by default look for all possible private keys, it only looks for id_rsa and id_dsa and identify and your public key is id_rsa_fed, so we have to add it manually. If someone face this type of issue may be it's help.
