[Voyage-linux] No password login with ssh

[Hans Harder]

I definitely advise you to use the public keys although you have a
private network
It just behaves like no password

With the latest openssh (5.5)   you can even install a single ssh
public certificate on each host,
That way you can generate ssh certificates which allow you connect to
all hosts without installing a public key
