you don't need to generate key pairs on _both_ machines.
you have to copy the private key file ($HOME/.ssh/identity,
$HOME/.ssh/id_dsa) to the client machine and append the public key
file ($HOME/.ssh/identity.pub, $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa.pub) on the server
machine to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys and $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys2
respectively.
