First you need to make a DSA certificate by using ssh-keygen with the -d
switch so that it makes DSA certificates instead of RSA certificates.
This will create id_dsa and id_dsa.pub files in $HOME/.ssh. Append the
id_dsa.pub file thus created to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2 on all
machines you want to be able to login to from that machine using public
key exchange. That should do the trick.
I agree...the man page is as clear as mud on this issue.
