Passwordless SSH Login
=========================
On the client
* generate a RSA keypair
* copy the *.pub part to the server, add it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
* modify your /etc/ssh/ssh_config for keepalive (30 sec. is very short - only if you get "broken pipe" errors):
ServerAliveInterval 30
On the server, /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
StrictModes no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
RSAAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile %h/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
