It might be that you need to call that file authorized_keys2 on the 
server. Or it might be that your permissions are set wrong on your local 
.ssh/id_dsa file. You have to "chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_dsa"

These are problems I've come across before.

Also, is 'testbar' an alias of 'fast'? I notice above that you have 
copied your public key to the 'testbar' machine, and then you are trying 
to ssh to 'fast'.

Some more ideas:
Have you run "ssh-add" and "ssh-agent" on your local machine?
If it's none of those problems, you may need to use "ssh -A david at fast" 
to enable key forwarding.
