Re: openssh v2 public-key problems?

I just installed a new host in my LAN, using the new&shiny

getting to use public key authentiucation.
Problem is: using protocol v2 all I get is a "Connection reset by peer"
instead of a "SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY".

debug1: identity file /home/lapo/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/lapo/.ssh/id_dsa.
debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'

Is it possible that your id_dsa is not in OpenSSH format?


OpenSSH Public keys for ssh-2 protocol look like this:
  ssh-rsa herecomesthekey...
or
  ssh-dss herecomesthekey...

Whereas, for ex., SSH Secure Shell keys for ssh-2 protocol look like this:
---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
herecomesthekey...
---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----

Just an idea
