The key I believe, is to make sure that when you are generating your
keys, that you do not enter a password; simply hit enter/return.

Also, SSH requires particular permissions for the directories after
you've exchanged the keys. So make sure you have .ssh set to 600 I
believe it is. 644  should be fine for the actual files within .ssh/
directory. That is what my permissions are and it does work.

Are you running into any particular problems? Aside of course from
it not working as you expect.
