visa-versa is not necessary. Once you've copied user on HOST A's
identity.pub into user on HOST B's authorized_key's file, then
user on A can connect without password to HOST B.
You only need to copy visa-versa if you wish HOST B to be able to
do the same in reverse.
Also, when generating the keys with ssh-keygen, enter a blank RSA
passphrase by just hitting enter, otherwise you won't be asked
for a password, but you'll be asked for an RSA passphrase every
time which is equally annoying.
