Yes, thats true. OpenSSH doesn't use the 'SECSH Public Key File Format' so =
you=20
have to convert to it.

I don't have F-Secure neither but you can try to generate the key as follow=
s:

ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t dsa key (as usual)

and later convert the key:

ssh-keygen -e key.pub > key.secsh

This is the one you have to put in your server's authorization file.

You also can import a key from SECSH to OpenSSH using the -i switch in=20
ssh-keygen.

Hope this helps.
