ssh public key authentication problem using curl


After setup with ssh-host-config, ssh-user-config, and ssh-copy-id, public key authentication works with ssh but fails with curl. (Password authentication works with curl -u, but is less convenient.)

curl -v shows:

SSH authentication methods available: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
Using ssh public key file /home/cdr/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
Using ssh private key file /home/cdr/.ssh/id_dsa
SSH public key authentication failed: Username/PublicKey combination invalid
Authentication failure


However, ssh authenticates OK using RSA. ssh -v shows:

 Next authentication method: publickey
 Offering public key: /home/cdr/.ssh/id_rsa
 Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 279
 read PEM private key done: type RSA
 Authentication succeeded (publickey).
