OpenSSH & dsa key authentication

I'm trying to get ssh authentication to work from cross platforms, which I've successfully done from HP-UX to Solaris, HP-UX to Linux, Linux to Solaris, Solaris to Linux, but I can't get Solaris or Linux to HP-UX working.

On linux and Solaris, I'm able to issue the following commands
>ssh-keygen -t dsa (created id_dsa & id_dsa.pub)
>cp id_dsa to identity
>cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2
Then to test authentication without entering in a password, I type
>slogin
But I can't get this type of authentication to work on HP-UX... After pulling my hair out I found something about compiling the openssh source with the
--with-skey= ... but installed skey with no apparent libraires and the make command yeild no skey support.... Am I barking up the wrong tree, doing something wrong???

Any one have a depot of openssh that would support ssh/dsa authentication key exchange w/o having to enter passwords?

Bueller, Bueller...
