Hi,

Thanks Andrey for reply to my question.

George gave me an advice by a direct mail.
And his instruction solve my problem.

Now the latest ssh works fine with ~/.ssh/config which contains
"PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-dss" because a type of my key is DSA.

I appreciate George so much.

Best Regards,
