I get this:

I also tried with the -2 flag and got this, with the rest being the same:

I have checked that both keys on the remote host match the ones in my
identity.pub and id_dsa.pub. I also notice that every time I try to ssh in, a
line appears in /var/log/messages: "can't locate module net-pf-10". I have no
idea what a kernel module could have to do with public key ssh authentication.
