There are two distinct sets of keys used by ssh. One set consists of the host keys, which are created automatically for you by sshd's start method and are located in /etc/ssh. The second set lives in ~/.ssh for each user and is optional; these consist of some combination of private keys (id_dsa and/or id_rsa by default) and public keys (id_dsa.pub and/or id_rsa.pub by default) which can be placed in authorized_keys to permit holders of the corresponding private key(s) to log in as that user without a password - subject of course to the client and server configuration options. See sshd(1m) and ssh(1) for the full details. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
