>Description:
When using dsa public keys to log into a remote system, ssh is supposed
to try using protocol 1 and then use protocol 2 if that fails.  In the
ssh_config file the relevant line is "Protocol 1,2"

However, the rollover never occurs and the login simply fails.		
>How-To-Repeat:
Default FreeBSD install.  Attempt to log into another machine with ssh
using only dsa public keys.  It will fail. 
>Fix:
Change the line "Protocol 1,2" to "Protocol 2,1" in the ssh_config file
or use -2 on the ssh command line.

However, it is unclear whether "Protocol 2,1" fixes the problem or whether
it just hides the problem by trying protocol 2 first and would fail
if someone attempted to use protocol 1 for public key login.
