From a host homeplate Targeting a host secondbase

Assumes you've already got a public key on homeplate. If not:

you@homeplate $ ssh-keygen -t rsa
```

Make sure there's an `~/.ssh` directory on `secondbase`:

    you@homeplate $ ssh you@secondbase mkdir -p .ssh

Then append your `homeplace`'s `id_rsa.pub` into `secondbase` authorized keys.

    you@homeplate $ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh you@secondbase 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'
   
Make sure permissions are ok.

    you@homeplate $ ssh you@secondbase "chmod 700 ~/.ssh; chmod 640 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
