You need to generate a set of keys for ssh to use when authenticating. This
is done using the ssh-keygen command which is part of the OpenSSH package.
When generating, don't specify a passphrase when asked. You need to move your
identity.pub (public key) to the host your are connecting to, while the
identity key stays on the host you are connecting from. If this is all
gobbledygook (or perhaps as understandable as Norwegian), then you need to
read a bit of the OpenSSH documentation. Be aware of the fact that there are
at least two versions of the ssh protocol in use, and several versions of the
keys. All to make life easy. Come back if you hit the wall.
Best regards
