openssh 2.1.1p1 Linux 2.2.16 (1) ssh(1) says there's a -k flag. Trying to use it gives prints out the usage message. openssh should support the "-k" flag for interoperability with ssh 1.2.27. (And the flag should be accepted whether or not kerberos support is actually present.) (2) DSA files seems to be poorly supported: ssh-keygen -l [-d] -f .ssh/id_dsa .ssh/id_dsa is not a valid key file. ssh-add [-d] .ssh/id_dsa Bad key file .ssh/id_dsa: Success -- Charles Karney Email: ckarney at sarnoff.com Sarnoff Corporation Phone: +1 609 734 2312 Princeton, NJ 08543-5300 Fax: +1 609 734 2586
