Maybe I missed something, but are you talking about generating host keys
or user keys?

Hi!
Usually I do not change anything in ssh configuration.  All I do is this:

On source machine:

user1@host1:~$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
<use empty passphrase>

user1@host1:~$ cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

On destination machine:
user2@host2:~$ vi ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
<paste the content of user1@host1's id_dsa.pub and save the file>

Now you should be able to do:
user1@host1:~$ ssh user2@host2

without needing to type any password.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
