RSA & DSA Authentication
Secure shell on Solaris 9 does not support authenticating via the DSA key. The
SSH protocol requires that the client and server auto negotiate the host key
algorithm. Our Solaris 9 client and server always send "ssh-rsa,ssh-dsa" which
says that they prefer RSA over DSA. This is not configurable.
Future releases of Solaris will introduce HostKeyAlgorithms, which will allow
access using the DSA Host key on the system controller.
