After setup with ssh-host-config, ssh-user-config, and ssh-copy-id, 
public key authentication works with ssh but fails with curl. (Password 
authentication works with curl -u, but is less convenient.)

curl -v shows:

  SSH authentication methods available: 
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive
  Using ssh public key file /home/cdr/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
  Using ssh private key file /home/cdr/.ssh/id_dsa
  SSH public key authentication failed: Username/PublicKey combination 
invalid
  Authentication failure

However, ssh authenticates OK using RSA. ssh -v shows:

  Next authentication method: publickey
  Offering public key: /home/cdr/.ssh/id_rsa
  Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 279
  read PEM private key done: type RSA
  Authentication succeeded (publickey).
