[X-Unix] rsync/ssh help

[mgraham]

On your machine, if you have not already done so, open Terminal and  
type:

	ssh-keygen -t rsa
		Hit "Return" to accept the defaults at each line
	cd ~/.ssh
	cat id_rsa.pub (to see your ID)
	scp id_rsa.pub <username>@<remotemachinename>:myid	(call it whatever  
you want)
		This assumes that remotemachinename is in your /etc/hosts file

SSH to the remote machine and cd to the user folder. Type
	ls -l

Check to see that the myid file is there.
Check to see if there is a .ssh directory; if not, mkdir .ssh
Copy the public key:

	cat myid >> .ssh/authorized_keys

That's it; you can log in without a password.
