   You need an SSH server on the remote host to accept connections from   
   an SSH client.   
      
   SSH can authenticate two ways: by a regular username/password login,   
   or by setting up a public/private key pair. On a *nix host, each user   
   can have a file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, which contains one or more   
   public keys. Any client using a private key matching one of these   
   public keys is allowed to connect without a password.   
      
   I assume the VMS folks have worked out an equivalent to per-user   
   dotfiles, for holding config information like this.
