Additionally, the directory /home/sali/.ssh/ only contains one file:
known_hosts. Each line in this file contains what looks like an RSA key (the
string directly after the IP address == "ssh-rsa")

So how can I tell libcurl to use RSA keys instead of DSA keys? And shouldn't
the keys be irrelevant if I'm providing a username/password?
