openssh section from the FreeBSD Hanbook      openssh FAQ

Authorized keys creation:
On the client side: ssh-keygen -f id_[rsa|dsa] -t [rsa|dsa] will create id_[rsa|dsa] and id_[rsa|dsa].pub . Keep them in ~/.ssh/ .
On the server side: append the .pub file to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (or ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2) .

When configuting access in openssh, do not forget AllowUsers directive in sshd_config .
