Well, I tried generating both an rsa and dss key and putting them in
~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_dss and neither seemed to work. I tried
the public portion in both ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and authorized_keys2
on the remote server.

I ended up just switching to openssh and it definately works. BTW, I
was doing all this on a Sharp Zaurus running OZ 3.5.1.
