I'm building from international crypto sources here, cvsuped indirectly from cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org and it built a DSA key fine. "ssh-keygen -d" still seems to work too. Are you sure you have recent crypto sources? (DSA is actually more likely to be exported from the US than RSA. DSA is designed as a signature algorithm and was designed to be difficult to use for encryption. It is possible to use it for encryption tough, just not as easy as RSA). David.
