This is actually a good question, and one to which I couldn't find an easy answer. As far as I can tell, the solution is not to rely on the SSH client directly; instead, one needs to use ssh-keyscan with the type flag: ssh-keyscan -t dsa <hostname> In other words, RSA is the default, and you have to do some work to use DSA instead. I'm not sure this is a bad thing, mind you, but it wasn't intuitive for me, either. -- "Oh, look: rocks!" -- Doctor Who, "Destiny of the Daleks" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
