hi
1. create a pulic and private key pair in the client using command in the home directory of the user

client $ssh-keygen -t rsa
it will ask for passphrase
supply your own passphrase

then check with

$ll ~/.ssh/id*

copy the client public key (id_rsa.pub) to the server by ftp or rcp

as a root user create a directory in the server in the user's home directory
# mkdir ~/.ssh
#chown username ~/.ssh
#touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
#chown username ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
#chmod 644 authorized_keys

redirect the copied public key file to authorized_users file

cat id_rsa.pub > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

test user authendication

client $ssh username@servername

it wil prompt for passphrase. after supplying phrase key u can directly login to the server

if u dont want to supply even passphrase then u hve to configure ssh-agent in the client
