Jeremy's reader's digest version for SSH2

me at mybox$ ssh-keygen -t rsa
     <Hit enter and accept defaults>
me at mybox$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh user at remotebox `cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
     <make sure that last one was one line>

Also, check out the Debian package keychain.  It helps using the
ssh-agent and passphrase keeper a little easier to manage.

For more neat ssh tricks, check out page 78 of the August 2003 issue of
Linux Journal, or http://interactive.lj.com if you have a subscription.
