SSH Keys for password less ssh sessions

[Sanjay Chakraborty]

If you are running RHEL it should not be a problem. Did you compile
the ssh/openssh from tar ball? Are you using different user? Is root
disable? If all these are no then follow the steps carefully and it
should work. I  did many times and it takes not more than 2 minutes. I
did in RHEL 3/4/5
