For those of us who need a good tutorial on ssh I suggest the series of
three articles that start with:

Common threads: OpenSSH key management, Part 1
Understanding RSA/DSA authentication
IBM developerWorks
by: Daniel Robbins (drobbins at gentoo.org), President and CEO, Gentoo
Technologies, Inc.

Article 1 is available at: 
	http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc.html 

Article two deals with OpenSSH key management, (Keychains - a versy useful
tool):
	http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc2/ 

Article Three deals with Tightening ssh security
	http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-keyc3/	

All are excellent!
