This scenario explains the login from client machine to server

• On client run the following command for creating a public key at client end

ssh-keygen -t dsa

• Copy the public key from client machine to server’s user’s home directory in .ssh

scp $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub user@server:~/.ssh

• On server run the following command

cat id_dsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys

• If you want the process for both sides run the above commands on server also

• Now you can securely shell into each other without prompting for password.
