Hi,

After the key is created on the ossec system, just copy the generated
public key to /home/<user>/.ssh/authorized_keys
in the remote box. Something like:

ossec-server # sudo -u ossec ssh-keygen
ossec-server # scp /var/ossec/.ssh/id*.pub   u...@othersystem:/tmp/
othersystem $ cat /tmp/id*.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2

*no, you don't need a ossec user on the remote host...

Hope it helps.
