What have I screwed up this time? What does it mean by "Not a RSA1 key file"?
Should that file be an "RSA1" file, and what can I do to fix that? When I
created my key, I ran "ssh-keygen -t dsa". Whatever the fix, I would prefer
if it wouldn't require server changes.

I created a test user and ran "ssh-keygen -t dsa". It looked the same(except
for the data/numbers). I also tried connecting with that user, and it gave
the same errors("unknown key type" etc).

Any ideas what's wrong? I must say, ssh is *really* secure ;-)


How did you transfer the key to remote machine? I also use dsa key and
when running ssh with -vv get the same "unknown key type '-----BEGIN'"
errors but the key does work.

Try issuing next command to transfer the key to remote host:

cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh user@remotehost "cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

And then test the ssh connection again.
