i don't think there is a "F-Secure 2.4.0".

if you want to use ssh v2 with id_dsa, you need to copy the matching
public key file to the server. consult your server documentation.

probably you have to use ssh-keygen(1) to convert from openssh
to ssh.com format.
	$ ssh-keygen -e -f ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub > ~/.ssh2/dsakey.pub
	$ echo Key dsakey.pub > ~/.ssh2/authorization
