[Beowulf] Password less ssh

[Suvendra Nath Dutta]

On this note, I know this has been rehashed many times before, but 
using OpenSSH 3.8 on SUSE 9.1, I couldn't get host authentication to 
work. I followed all the instructions out in the web but everything 
failed. I ended up copying the root's dsa key to every user's ssh 
directory and using public-key authentication. Has someone successfully 
implemented host authentication using SSH (hopefully v2) and has 
written it up in a nice How To?
