What do you mean by "RSA", an RSA key for ssh1 auth or an RSA key
for ssh2 auth?
Assuming your sshd_config contains
Protocol 2,1
and your collegue has a ssh1 RSA key, he has to use '-1' on
the CLI. Otherwise, if sshd_config contains
Protocol 1,2
you have to use -2 on the CLI.
Another approach is to change your and your collegues ~/.ssh/config
on the client box to do the right thing when connecting to that
server, anyway.
Btw., RSA is assumed to be more secure than DSA. I suggest using an
ssh2 RSA key, too.
