That prescription is a little messed up. You need to create id_dsa and id_dsa.pub on the client, as above. But it is the client's id_dsa.pub that needs to go into /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server, which seems to be not what the above recipe does. If that doesn't help, try adding -v or even -v -v to the ssh command to see what the connection is trying to do w.r.t. your keys.
