ssh logging without a password

Hi All,

I have tried to setup sshd (dropbear v.049) to accept login from the remote host without giving the password.

The idea which I have is as following:

I have the client computer A and the server embedded system B which runs dropbear daemon.

I would like to login from machine A (being user jane) to B by means of the command: ssh root at B
without giving a password. To do so I have generated on machine A (being user jane)
access keys by means of   ssh-keygen -t dsa. 

I do not know where to put the file id_dsa.pub since on the B server there is no directory /root/.ssh but just a regular file instead.

It seems to be that dropbear accepts the dss key type but on the client one can choose the dsa type (or rsa). Are this keys somehow compatible?

I will appreciate very much any hint on the issue I have described above

Best Regards

Mirek
