I recently removed my DSA keys from my laptop and desktop systems, leaving only the RSA keys. This is working for several systems, but several are logging errors with every access that did not show up when DSA keys were used.

All systems are i386 and all are running v6, from a fairly old 6.1 from August 2006 to a 6.3-stable from yesterday. The one from yesterday is getting errors, but so are 6.1 systems from back in 2006. I've also tried installing OpenSSH-portable, but that did not seem to make a difference. Can anyone shed any light on what is happening?
