On the Linux host:
man ssh-keygen
:
ssh-keygen -x [-f input_keyfile]
ssh-keygen -X [-f input_keyfile]
:
:
-x This option will read a private OpenSSH DSA format file and print
a SSH2-compatible public key to stdout.
-X This option will read a unencrypted SSH2-compatible private (or
public) key file and print an OpenSSH compatible private (or pub�
lic) key to stdout.
Just take your public DSA key and feed it through ssh-keygen -X
and it should spit out what you want.
