Bug#481232: mysterious DSAAuthentication option found



Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.7p1-8
Severity: normal

I found the DSAAuthentication option in my .ssh/config, which is not
or no longer documented in ssh_config(5). What's weird is that after
removing all my DSA keys and using RSA for everything, setting it to
no prevents logins. It appears that it has to be set to yes. Sounds
fishy...
