What happens if you ssh -v -v -v to both the good machine and the bad machine? The output below suggests that the bad machine is choking on both your rsa key and your dsa key. The good machine only chokes on the dsa key, so maybe it's using whatever rsa key you give it (and perhaps this is a different rsa key than you supplied to the bad machine). The verbose output from the ssh client would confirm this. For example, I think the ssh2 protocol uses only dsa keys. -chris
