Fast SSH login (without passwords)

This simple tutorial has been extracted from "Peters's Blog". To avoid retype of password in ssh remote connections, follow the next steps:

1. install openssh on client and server
2. create ssh key using:

   ssh-keygen -t dsa
   

3. Log into server using sftp
4. copy the file id_dsa.pub (generated in the client) to the server
5. on the server, merge contents of (client) id_dsa.pub with ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
6. From client, try logging in using ssh or sftp. Key should be accepted.
