the server file /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys must contain a line containing /home/username/.ssh/id_dsa.pub (use ssh-keygen -t dsa to generate it)
Further, you must ensure that, on the remote machine into which you're attempting to login,
a) $HOME is not group-writeable or world-writeable
b) $HOME/.ssh has 0700 permissions
c) $HOME/.ssh/* have 0600 permissions
(Actually, there are some $HOME/ssh/* files that can have looser permissions than 600, but they all work with 0600, so that's the way I keep them.)
And the cheap way I do this is either "ssh-keygen -t dsa" or "ssh-keygen -t rsa" which creates the directory structure every time, and consistenly too.
Also if I remember correctly, ssh2 references were deprecated somewhere along openssh 2.96 release. Just ssh is used. e.g. /home/$username/.ssh/
