the same. is that the remote or the local? the man for ssh-keygen doesn't
say that you have to copy the id_dsa* files to the remote machine...
only that id_dsa.pub should be copied to .ssh/authorized_keys:

"The contents of this file should be added to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
on all machines where the user wishes to log in using public key
authentication.  There is no need to keep the contents of this file
secret"

the same..  this has to be uncommented on both or only on the remote?!
