using ssh without password

[Arnar Thorarinsson]

Generate a public/private key pair on nagios host:
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f .ssh/id_dsa

This produces two files, id_dsa and id_dsa.pub, the latter being the
public key.
Copy the public key to client: scp .ssh/id_dsa.pub <client>:~/.ssh/
Go to client and add the public key to the authorized keys file (make
sure that its the only line for nagios host).
cat id_dsa.pub >> authorized_keys2

think that should do the trick
