I thought I'd take what looked to be the simple path. So...
1. Ran the command: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "
ka...@have.it"
I used the seemingly default id_rsa and left the passphrase blank.
2. Ran the command: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub kant@c
"c" is a known host in the /etc/hosts file.
All of this seemed to work.
Tried the command: ssh kant@c
and it asks for a password, as does the rsync command.
In the .ssh directory the file authorized_keys exists and the contents of the
file id_rsa.pub match it.
What did I miss, probably a lot. The results of trying to google this process
are all over the place and vary wildly in their recommendations.
