You're using ssh from the "ssh2" package, not the "ssh" one?  "ssh2" is
the old non-free-evil-unmaintained-proprietary one.  "ssh" is the new,
beautiful, loving, caring Free OpenSSH that supports the SSHv1 and SSHv2
protocols.  With openssh, just use ssh-copy-key-id (after running
ssh-keygen -t rsa) to copy the public key bit to the remote machine;
after that, you should have passwordless logins.  Well, assuming you set
no password on the key, or use ssh-agent...
