I'm not quite sure right now why you're using rsa keys. I'm always using
dsa keys (ssh-keygen -t dsa). It comes to my mind, that rsa keys are for
ssh version 1, while dsa keys are for ssh version 2.
But I could be wrong here ;)
No man ssh handy right now, sorry.
If that's true, then I believe I will start using the dsa ones! I think
I chose rsa because the FreeBSD manual indicated I could use either and
I could only find settings for enabling rsa in sshd_config on the remote
servers, but I'll look again...
This story about rsa and dsa is not true.
Rsa wasn't free (patents or something else) until a few years ago. So
everybody used dsa. But since quite some time it doesn't matter what you
use. I don't know about advantages of one above the other. In daily use
they are the same.
