Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in rsa.
Your public key has been saved in rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
2e:3f:4a:ae:4c:52:60:9r:5e:8b:fc:e6:b1:d8:9c:64 vikram@hp023
I'm having valid folder /users/vikram/.ssh/id_rsa
With 777 permission and Suffient space too.
I'm able to place any file in that directory too.
But when i issue the above mentioned command , its not at all creating the keys in that directory.
Please help me.
regards
vikram.

The default name of the pvt key is id_rsa if no name is mentioned, it is not a directory.Understand from the output you pasted, you are having a directory with the name "id_rsa". As the directory already exists, it will not allow keygen to create afile with same name as of directory.Remove the directory id_rsa and proceed.
