SSH question

Hello...

Sorry if this is too OT, but I recently posted about copying some files 
from one server to another using scp...I thought I could get that set 
up easily since I've done it before.  Silly me!

The primary server is running
# ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 
0x0090703f

While the server I want to copy FROM is apparently running
sshd2: SSH Secure Shell 3.2.3 (non-commercial version) on 
i686-pc-linux-gnu

I have created the pub key on the FreeBSD system with
ssh-keygen -t dsa
then copied the resulting .pub file to the other server with the name 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2.  Neither one seems 
to work, and I don't see errors being generated in the logs.

The non-BSD system is of turnkey configuration, so I'm kind of limited 
in how much I can alter it or experiment to get the key working.  The 
authentication for sshd2 says that allowedauthorization type includes 
publickey.

Is there an alteration between openssh and ssh that I have to do to get 
the non-BSD server to see my BSD server's public key?  Offered 
solutions via google don't seem to be working :-/
