I tried this:
ssh -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key  user at host
but it still asks me for the password.

I have previously put the public key I got from
dropbearkey -y -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
into user at host:.ssh/authorized_keys

In my local ~/.ssh I have only the files authorized_keys and known_hosts.
The private keys are in /etc/dropbear/dropbear_*_host_key

Does that matter ? I tried with both rsa and dss key...
