I have also observed this behaviour. My main SSH key is an RSA key and  
it works fine.

So problem 1 is the error message: it says DSA (hard-coded) but it can  
mean RSA/DSA.

The ,,not a valid DSA key'' refers to a local private SSH key that  
does not get accepted by the server (no matter if the key locally is  
RSA or DSA).

What is the exact SSH configuration in the sessions file? Do you use  
detction of default key names in the config?

Greets,
Mike
