You can disable these first three by changing
ChallengeResponseAuthentication to no.

Sounds like a silly question, I know, but are you typing your password
correctly?  For example, is your local keymap sending the right
characters to the server?

No, I don't think so.  It is just a convenient identifier for human
consumption - it's somewhat easier to use the last little bit of the key
than to try and remember the whole keyblock!

Have you copied ida_dsa.pub from the client machine to your
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file on the server?
