BusyBee Debian

Getting SSH options right

I needed to ssh between my debian box and the Powerbook. I first did a

ssh-keygen -t dsa

This will create a DSA keypair which is SSH version 2 as opposed to RSA version 1. The first of the pair is

id_dsa

and the second

id_dsa.pub

What I need to do then is to copy the content of id_dsa.pub into the file

authorized_keys2

which should reside in ~/.ssh on any box which i want to ssh to.
