Hi,

One of my users got into trouble that he could not use rsa authentication.
He was using 2.9 server and 2.9 client but he generated his rsa key
without -t option by ssh-keygen, thus identity and identity.pub was created.
ssh -1 worked for him.

IMHO, since SSH-2 is default for ssh client now,  I think "-t dsa" should be
the default for ssh-keygen.
