This only allows you to run 'ssh localhost' on son. You could use the
same key (id_dsa + id_dsa.pub) from any other computer and do the same
but I always generate a keypair per machine.
It doesn't matter where you generate the key. The important thing is to
put the contents of id_dsa.pub into the authorized_keys file on the
server.
