This appears to be rather poorly supported compared to the rsa key
equivalent...
The man page implies that ~/.ssh/authorized_keys &
~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 are similar format. In fact the code will only
read DSA keys from the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file - the options
entries are not supported, and putting options in causes key
recognition to fail.
I guess ideally the key reader needs to strip off the pre-key material,
and then pass it to a common options parser shared with the rsa key
handler (why duplicate the code). An alternative is that the options
could be added to the end of the key line... I don't like that much,
but in either case the options ought to be supported.
Nigel.
