openssh unix dev - Nov 2001 - default option for ssh-keygen

Hi,

One of my users got into trouble that he could not use rsa authentication.
He was using 2.9 server and 2.9 client but he generated his rsa key
without -t option by ssh-keygen, thus identity and identity.pub was created.
ssh -1 worked for him.

IMHO, since SSH-2 is default for ssh client now,  I think "-t dsa"
should be
the default for ssh-keygen.

i think -t rsa will be the default, or there will be no default at all.
