In the 7.0 release notes:
* Support for ssh-dss, ssh-dss-cert-* host and user keys is disabled
by default at run-time. These may be re-enabled using the
instructions at http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html
DSS = Digital Signature Standard, DSA = Digital Signature Algorithm
but they refer to the same thing. Given that the SSH standards use
ssh-dss, by rights keygen should refer to it as "dss" instead of "dsa"
but that ship sailed long ago.
Oh, my apologies, I missed that. I searched for DSA only.
Thank you,
