Short version:

generate public and private key (e.g. with ssh-keygen -q -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -t rsa) (or -t dsa)
on the machine from which you connect: put private key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa (for rss key) or ~/.ssh/id_dsa (for dsa key), with 0600 permissions
on the machine you connect to: append public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (this file should also have 0600 permission)
