Personally, I remove all permission to anyone other than the owner on all of the files in there (chmod og-rwx), but by default here is a listing (OpenSSH_4.3p2):
$ ls -lh .ssh/ total 16K -rwxr-xr-x 1 ben ben 599 Mar 20 2006 authorized_keys -rw------- 1 ben ben 672 Sep 26 00:19 id_dsa -rw-r--r-- 1 ben ben 601 Sep 26 00:19 id_dsa.pub -rw-r--r-- 1 ben ben 1.6K Sep 13 23:43 known_hosts Also note that the id_dsa* files are only there if you generated them, usually with ssh-keygen.
