   I thought I'd take what looked to be the simple path.  So...   
   1.  Ran the command:  ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "kant@have.it"   
        I used the seemingly default id_rsa and left the passphrase blank.   
   2.  Ran the command:  ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub kant@c   
        "c" is a known host in the /etc/hosts file.   
   All of this seemed to work.   
      
   Tried the command:  ssh kant@c   
   and it asks for a password, as does the rsync command.   
      
   In the .ssh directory the file authorized_keys exists and the contents of the   
   file id_rsa.pub match it.   
      
   What did I miss, probably a lot.  The results of trying to google this process   
   are all over the place and vary wildly in their recommendations.
