 If the search is successful, then you are running the agent on PUMA and you need to run the following command to add your PUMA public key to the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file on PUMA:
 {{{
-puma$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+puma$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
 }}}
 
 Otherwise the ssh-agent is being forwarded from another machine. You now need to determine which machine that is, most likely to be the one you logged into PUMA from and copy the public key from that machine to the `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file on PUMA. This can be achieved in a secure manner by running the following command:
 {{{
-puma$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh ‹userid›@puma.nerc.ac.uk 'mkdir -p .ssh ; cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
+puma$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh ‹userid›@puma.nerc.ac.uk 'mkdir -p .ssh ; cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
