This is how I do it when setting up a new machine:
ssh-keygen -t dsa
<enter, enter, enter>
cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'cat
.ssh/authorized_keys2' <enter password>
Then:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] (should work without password)
To copy the key to the remote host you may can also use the following
command:
ssh-copy-id [EMAIL PROTECTED]
which takes care of copying to the right location and ensuring the
permissions are set correctly.
Your example works _if_ you are using rsa keys. If using a dsa key
use ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id.dsa.pub [EMAIL PROTECTED]
