the server file /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys
must contain a line containing /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa.pub (use
ssh-keygen -t dsa to generate it)
Furthermore /etc/ssh/sshd_config must not have
PubkeyAuthentication no (yes is the default) [if you delete it remember to
/etc/init.d/sshd restart]
cheers,
MaZe.
