To generate the public and pro\ivate key pairs needed to login with out a password prompt requires the use of the "ssh-keygen" utility. From your home directory using the following sequence to generate a key pair. Better to just run "ssh-user-config" which does this for you, among other things. If there are deficiencies in that script (or ssh-host-config) then they should be fixed, rather then having users circumvent the scripts and "wing it".
