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.
Now I really believe I have something configured wrong....
On my Astaro firewall, I had to create everything manually. As it does not have a Unix adduser or secure file upload.
Astaro??? Keithy confused now. Was is loss, Astaro?. (Don't answer that, I know what it is but have never used it). My reply was based on connecting to a centos based server.
Just that with my Astaro, since v 3 up to my current v6, I have done this. And since Astaro is based on Linux, and is using OpenSSH, what was my problem with Astaro.
Well it seems that permissions was a big part of it.
Of course I don't know what the -X option does. My debian friend gave me that command structure...
man ssh-keygen does even list -X as an option. Maybe it's particular to that Debian distribution?
I noticed that while digging into all of this. I will ask him when I get home, and also do some testing without it!
Actually, considering how long ago we first worked this out, it might be an SSH1 vestige that still works.

I would recommend....AND it is recommended to create RSA keys instead of DSA keys for ssh key-pairs
