You need to create a .ssh2/identification file with the contents
IdKey	id_dsa_1024_a

And probably a .ssh/authorization file with the contents
Key	id_dsa_1024_a.pub

It looks as though the remote machine will not allow "password" as one
of its authentications.  I recently ran into this problem at work.
