it tries the default keys (id_rsa or id_dsa), if exists. if you don't want it
to try it, you can use the -i parameter to ssh pointing to your private key
(ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa <user>@<server>),

but you will need your private key to be authenticated. that's why it is
*private*.

ana in the server you'll need to put your *public* key into
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.

that messages isn't from the server, is from client running locally. but it
