I don't have a program called "ssh-copy-id" on my system....
I scp'd the ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file from the local machine to the
remote machine, appended it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote
machine, and it's still asking for a password whenever i ssh to the
remote machine.

I'm having troubles generating and using keys with rsync over ssh.
The

the keys in this case?
First check that you can run a remote command over ssh using a
manually
entered password:
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] echo foo
Then you just need to add the contents of the client user's
~/.ssh/id*.pub to the remote user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
There's a program "ssh-copy-id" that will do this for you. The
public-key authentication itself doesn't care about hostnames or IP
addresses, so your special setup should not present a problem here.
