take a look at the program ssh-keygen. This can be used to generate
keys. Note that I recommend you password-protect the generated keys.
Then, ssh-agent can be used to load the keys into memory, meaning you
type a passphrase once per session, rather than once per shell.
To get a public key onto a remote computer in one line, do
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh remote-host 'cat ->>.ssh/authorized_keys'
