Ok. PublicKey is working, I figured out to set it up with PublicKey Auth
only and using my DSA key and only allowed protocol was SSH2. I know
that and that is the reason why I'm still trying to figure out how to
use both (RSA & DSA over pubkey auth).
As I added 'RSAAuthentication yes' to the config it stops working and
I don't understand why. My collegue has just some RSA keys and was
angry if I asked him to get some DSA keys too, so I tried to use both,
SSH1 & SSH2 and RSA & DSA with no passwords, only pubkey.
It seems to be tricky...
Well we have options, I could make some RSA keys and we would both use
RSA or he makes some DSA keys. But now I have tasted blood (we say
in Germany: Blut geleckt...), I want to use both with our existing keys
just like we do at a Linux box we are both accessing where it works
well.
